I'm back with a new N-scale Door plan

[MichaelWinicki]

That's much better Peter.

The plan has a more free-flowing look to it and the gap is eliminated between the purple siding and red main.

taking your suggestions under advisement:



I wrap the interchange around the left side, giving a lot of length for visible staging, plus a 'dummy' switch  letting the track continue off the upper end of the layout.  In addition there is room to have a cassette bring in other powr at the bottom left as needed.  might swap the rerailer position to match the road.

Now I'm going to go actually start laying this track down this weekend, so uless someone has serious objections to how this looks, I'm gonna run with it!

[ScrewySqrl]

well, the track is placed!

I had to modify the track plan because I ran out of left hand turnouts, so had to substitute two right hand turnouts

this is the trackplan as actually built:


here's a typical train consist

Now, to make life easier for yourself, carefully straighten and remove any kinks in your trackwork, using push pins or masking tape to temporarily hold the alignment.  Then, trace your track, so you can try to get the roadbed installed with minimal problems for the reinstallment of the track.  This is actually one advantage of flextrack, because you don't have to be exact in the installment of the cork roadbed, except around turnouts.  There is some flexibility that you will not have using sectional track.
