Attached is my umteenth iteration of a track plan for my oddly shaped basement space. I have tried to make it where I can run two trains unattended, and I have also compromised in that the lower longer loop has 072 minimum curves, while the upper loop has 064. I really wanted trains to pass over each other to add some interest. My operation would be shay's, climax, and maybe some early four axle diesels-- 40 foot boxcars, logging cars, etc. Sort of a short line/narrow gauge feel to it. Seems like I had to squeeze a lot of track together to enable the connection of the two loops, but I just cannot see another way to do it. I tried to add as many sidings as possible to service maybe a mine or sawmill, and maybe a logging camp, or wharf. There are a couple of areas that may need some kind of access hatch or something. The spur track in the upper right hand room stops at a wall, but the other side of the wall is a 19 X 19 room that COULD house (with spousal permission) a yard and turntable area. If I have overlooked some operational snafu-- please point it out. Sure a LOT easier to keep fiddling with a computer program than to make a mess.
