It’s a shame the Arendt site doesn’t properly credit that layout design, which is a small modification of Linn Westcott’s “Switchman’s Nightmare”.
As others have said, the actual space you have available will determine what might be recommended. And most designs in any scale may be adapted to N.
M.C. Fujiwara did a terrific build of my N scale 18"X72" N scale switching layout inspired by San Jose locations.
If you have more linear length than these ideas, there are lots of possibilities.
Good luck with your layout.
