After months of putting it off, drawing 10 different designs I've officially started to piece together my dream layout, a modular layout around 16' by 24' ft.  much bigger then any room in my house so I'm building it as universal as possible so I can create small sections and still run a full circle.  Its being designed as a two track main line transporting coal, oil, and container services.  It's completely from scratch although some components and concepts are coming off of Google earth, in which I've found random yards to base staging off of.&nbs
