Just to clarify - my comment was about Carl's Olympian track plan, not about Shortliner Jack's plan - which is a perfectly fine small urban freight switching plan.
Not sure it would make much sense to try to "work some passenger trains in" on Shortliner's plan either. I would think that pretty much the only way to do something vaguely meaningful with H0 scale passenger cars in 1 x 6 feet would be to set aside maybe 30" for cassette staging or someting, and model very short (as in engine and two passenger cars) trains pulling into or departing from a terminal (immediately going into staging or coming out of staging).
But I could very well be wrong. Any ideas about working in passenger trains, Jack?
Smile,
