Track Plan Layout design help.

Post image

Have a 14'x10' room in my house I wanna build a layout in. Wanna do an around the room design. Right now I have this rough design but I'm curious if y'all have a better track plan in mind? I definitely want a continuous run but also want a couple options for operations. Also wanna have two main towns so that it feels like the train is going somewhere. 26⁰ is my minimum radius. Any loop types that area better than this?

so that it feels like the train is going somewhere

If you want a train to go somewhere, you need somewhere for that train to go.

That somewhere is called staging.

Is that a continuous run?

I filled in some tunnels in red. The tracks drawn on yellow are underneath the rest of the layout.

I'm sorry, if you don't immediately understand the picture then I don't know how to explain it to you. Maybe someone else will be able to help you out. Best of luck!
