In the recent MR magazine they did a layout called "the Virginian" 4x8 in HO.. I thought it would be cool to convert that to N scale.. you could have longer coal trains and pusher operations..

N scale is the only size I could fit but my house is so small, hat would be pushing it. I like some of those micro, corner set ups people do. Some have posted pictures in this forum showing them. Check out this thread, and the links to YouTube. Carlos Felipe's work is incredible.
