Reply to "O Scale Around The Walls Layout Plans"

I have taken the feedback above and updated the AnyRail file and posted a pic with the changes.  Couple of observations/questions:

1. Made all outer curves O-36 from O-48 to make everything fit.  Will tinker with this because I wanted to be able to run some larger equipment if possible.

2. Left side mainline is closer to the passing siding, spur relocated to the left of the mainline with the low relief idea and opposite track and corresponding industry.

3. Changed the yard ladder and moved engine house spur to the peninsula, eliminated spur where engine house was on right side of layout.

4. Updated the interchange to eliminate S curve and expanded in both directions.

5. Eliminated scrap switch and just ran track down and around, may add back in based on how many switches I can afford.

If everyone could check it out again and provide feedback it would be greatly appreciated.  Also, with such a long interchange now do I really need a yard?  Any ideas for the peninsula?

I am also thinking of reducing width of the lower section of the layout (that houses the bridge) from 24" to 18" so there is more room to wander the inside of the layout but would like to hear opinions on giving away space in a train room versus free movement.  Thank you all for your help!!
