Take two.....

Well a few weeks ago I decided to start my layout over. The more and more I looked at my layout, I could not help but think that this isn't what I really wanted. So after some modifications to the basement (removing a pantry, which was only taking up space) and coaxing my wife, I tore down my layout and started fresh.

The new benchwork is completed (pictures to come soon). It is an 7' x 16' rectangle, with access in the middle.

I am freelancing the track plans, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I want to keep it simple, but at the same time, have an element that makes it more complex then just to main lines running in a circle. I am currently focusing on my yard and engine terminal.
