I know its a little fuzzy, i had to “clear” up some stuff, but this is what my 13X9 will look like.
The ADD ONS, are coming after the main project, which is the mainline loop. I like it because you run in 2 circles if you look. The WC yard is the first stage, and the SOO yard will come shortly after. If you look, the “add ons” are disconnected from the mainline, so you can understand the stages better.
New Brighton will be the only prototypical thing on the layout, and will come last.

it doesnt seem to wnat to enlarge can you post a larger picture?
From one New Brightonite to another it looks interesting. Portrait pics won’t enlarge so if you could make it landscape we could see it better. I am not a plan expert, I just make what fits my scenery ideas. What prototype in New Brighton are you going to model? I assume it is a donut shape, How are you getting into the middle?
Well, i’ll try here.
n/m two things one is that some of your turns look a bit sharp what type of loco’s do you plan on running, becuase that might requrie it to be a 15" or 18" when most loco’s require 22", not sure if the board might be bigger then it appears but cant realy picture it out of scale, and another thing is that your control center in the middel looks a bit tight and it might be difficult to reach over the layout to fix and manange parts of the layout with easy reach might be difficult other then that seems good
right click view image location then click the maginify buitton that should help alot
Alright, ill flip it, so you wont be able to read it that well, but thats not a big deal. Art. I have a hole in the middle where i can be, and then im going to use plug in controllers so i can get out of the hole and go to New Brighton to switch, and go to the SOO yard. The New Brighton i’m modeling is where the Minnesota Commercial and the WC meet up.
There, hope it works.
Conrail92- The curves just look bad, thats not how they will be. And, like I stated in this post, im going to have 3 phone jacks to put a controller in, so i can be anywhere that needs me.
