Looks good....

.... and seems you're ready for some real estate grab at both ends!.

S-curve

It looks like there might be a bit of an s-curve near the cross-over by (#29).  This may be an issue.

Numbers?

Are the numbers the location of a car or car length? Not sure what you're using them for. Consider a double slip switch instead of the crossover by number 29 and 30 - might be interesting.

too much?

Actually, I'm concerned that there will be no space for scenery.  There seems to be track almost everywhere.  You may want to scale back the trackage a little, perhaps put some thought into where you intend to put buildings, before you get too far along with the trackwork.

thanks for the comments

You guys made some great observations

Yes, both ends are set up well for expansion - also it is built as 3 modular sections so I can move it to a bigger room when the opportunity arises.

the numbers are car spots for operating sessions - I still have some work to do to figure out exactly which industries I will model - I definitely will have a small modern sawmill and a chemical plant of some kind, and probably a bakery or something. (I really like covered hoppers). I want to have some industries that receive and ship by rail but using different car types (ideas and examples would be appreciated)

Yeah it is a really dense layout and will have a lot of old brick factory type buildings. The track at the far left side is not yet nailed down so I have room for adjusting with the industries.

around #29 I have actually drafted up 3 different versions, one with a double crossover, and one with a switchback between 24 & 25. This area is not quite finalized yet. So far this is the version I like best but yeah I will have to fiddle with it a little to minimize the S-curve. Although a little S-curve is acceptable for me since I avoid really long rolling stock and run mostly early road switchers and Geeps.
