Ok so I'm going to try to type my thoughts here....I can somehow bet my life on the fact that you've gone through not only layout plans but also layouts that are in the works, been there still do the veiwing others layout progress and always getting new ideas. So saying that if the palm of your hand isn't already sore and shiney I'd take a bit more looking and when you see a picture in the layout you like and or a part of a trackplan you like right click on it and save the picture to a specific folder and well the part of the layout plan will need to be partially erased to keep the good part.
Now for the fun part of the trackplan editing , rather than trying to put the bits and pieces of the track plans into software tape together 4-5 double wide 8.5x11 sheets of blank paper and draw what you liked onto the sheets. The saved pictures just verify what you like to see in a layout. As for a switching operation you can still have scenery along with industry operations , I know cuz I have it on my layout. Well enough of my ramblings I'm hoping by the time you wake up from this post someone that knows what there doing will come along and pitch in.
