Okay, so My layout isnt working the way I want, and to save money and some space, Ive been thinking of taking apart the layout and rebuilding (by reusing as much as possible) and making a smaller more fitting layout than my 20' by 10' attempt at an HO scale DMIR layout. But the idea is smaller, and smaller wouldnt be good for my 6 axle tunnel motors, so now Im also looking at new locos, not to mention some new structures, and more rolling stock that doesnt consist of only ore cars. Now my money saving ideas dont work so well.
So Im thinking of more of a narrow along the wall style shelf layout. Maybe two levels,one level could be a yard/oredock, and the other a taconite yard built into a reverse/return loop on the top. Im thinking there is potential for a nice lone strech of mainline for between the two. Im just wondering if anybody could possibly draw up some ideas for me as Im having some issues figureing it out. I dont have exact measurements, but here is something close.
Thanks guys, Id really appreciate some ideas to work off of.
