Hmmm - the one you liked ("Missauga", an 8 foot long N scale plan) was similar in nature to this one, posted by Paul Schors in thread http://www.trainboard.com/grapevine/show...a-Traction on trainboard.com:

Observe that Paul used a removable switching lead added to the end of the module when using it as a standalone layout. This is a trick illustrated e.g. by excellent model railroad planner and builder M.C Fujiwara in his thread on building a two-module Shoofly section of an N scale Freemo layout in this thread: http://cs.trains.com/TRCCS/forums/t/2031...ageIndex=2
It is of course also possible to make a simple track plan for 8 feet based on some California location - say Weedpatch, CA, with a crossover added and a siding re-appropriated as an industry track :

Or adding even more track to give more switching opportunities:
