Another Small Train Layout

I have created a new track plan for my 30 x 60 inch train layout. There are three complete ovals, a stretch of four tracks and a series of switches allowing trains to switch back and forth over the different tracks.

I visualize the layout as being urban but not city core with trains passing through a neighborhood between stations. I find it hard to fit realistic size stations into such a small space so I focus on what could be the locations between stations.

The layout uses Tomix C243. C280, C317 and C354 curves and 541-15 turnouts.
