I started building what's going to be a small engine yard. I had a short siding that I was able to split into two tracks. Its wired into 3 blocks, each spur and the turnout, so that I can keep 3 short switchers on it. I finished the wiring and installed the lights. Started ballast last night.
Here's a before and after of the CEO's project and of course the trains.
Great post everyone- lots of "likes" to go around.

Bob,
Very nice job on the painting. That room looks great, but I can believe trains in that room would be shot down! The layout work looks good as well. I like your bumper walls on the short switcher spurs! They lend themselves to your space constraints very well.
Thanks Mark. I bought the FT earth bumper but it took up too much track space. I made these out of some scrap balsa wood and painted them. I gave them a bump test with a gondola and they held up.
If you guys want to start a petition to put trains around the room please do. I could use all the support I can get.
Bob
