What era are you planning on using for your layout?

That 15" curve will keep you from running anything larger than a 40" car, tight curves weren't that rare pre-1940, especially in
Industrial areas like you have on your plan.

Another question I have is what type of engine do you want to run?

Steam, diesel, or electric? I would go with either a small GE switcher or an electric, although those are harder to get sound for.

If I were building this layout, I would go with the 30's or 40's, using a small switcher such as an NW-2, BLI makes some good sound-equipped switcher for a good price: http://www.broadway-limited.com/paragon2-2.aspx
