Overview of my N scale layout

I finally got all the track layed except my yard line but that won't take to much time.Its basically a door layout shaped in a L. Its 7 feet long by 5 feet wide on the upper section.Due to space restrictions i'm using 4% grades both on the back straight section and the spiral where the upper track enters my tunnel to the lower switch by the bridge.
Please pardon the crudness of the picture but i haven,t been able to get any of the track software to work with my design.

90% of the track is atlas flex track

Update

Just finished building and wiring my control panal today.Just have to wire the remainder of the turnouts and the yard track.Am making progress slowly.Its nice to be able to run 2 trains at once on a DC layout.

cpNscale, I really like that plan. It seems to have a lot of desirable features,
but still has lots of space for structures or what have you. Lookin' Good!!

I once...

...ran my railroad...

on a piece of plywood- probably no more than 2' x 4' sitting on top of a big corrugated box in my dad's basement.

It had enough room to have an oval of track and I ran an n-scale Atlas 0-4-0 pulling 3 or 4 (5) passenger cars between Philadelphia and New York. I am pretty sure that when the transformer got too hot to touch I knew the train got to Phila. Then I graduated, with dad's assistance to a hollow core wood door.

I miss the piece of 2' x 4', but I miss the hollow wood core too!
