I like the original layout track plan with one exception.  The "S" curve created with the two 022 switches at the front of the layout.  

I also can see the advantages of Ken's Fastrack designs.  So many to choose from and so little room or time.....LOL

I've been designing a post-war type layout for two years now.  Must bite the bullet and pick one.   

Dan, you are right, and that 'S' curve is central to the original design of the layout. I have reduced it a bit in degrees of curvature.  But...

I have also looked at replacing it with O60 turnouts, but that makes other issues harder to solve.   I might try separating the turnouts so its not so much of an 'S', but just two turnouts in opposite directions.
