Thanks for the encouragement RTR12 - this version replaces the turnouts connecting the two routes with O-60 turnouts, for a better higher-speed connection between the two routes. And I extended the layout to 5 X 11 in order to run a siding to serve the power plant, so I can service the plant with a cut of coal cars with access to either end to drop off a locomotive after positioning the coal loads.
I was able to squeeze in one more building, the Red Owl store, which is really cool, but rather large.
The 5' width is a potential reach issue - for my build this layout will go on a 4X8 table with castors, so I can pull it out from the corner for access.
