MIND BLANK. NEED HELP. This space is about 2' x 2' and is part of my N scale layout. Don't even bother asking what I want, because I change my mind a million times. The nearby part of the layout is still undecide, but most likely a steel mill, rolling mill, or power plant will be there. I just put a right hand switch and a piece of flextrack branching off of the main into this area. Era is 80's through today. Pennsylvania for locale.
Fill this space...

Backdrop not attached to wall, just temporarily taped there. I also dont need a fueling facility there.

Powerplant
Currently this is next to retaining wall. What do you think? How can I improve this scene? Should I remove it and put in walthers rolling mills or a blast furnace insted? The layout is a 10' x 11' U shape. Should I make it a single industry layout or try to make it go from town to town?

You could put in any kind of industry you would like I would probably make it something complimentary maybe a coalyard for the powerhouse??? I would also add a few small out buildings to that structure as storage/powerhouse?? for product and add some more details as well People cars trucks crates junk. I also would not wait to much longer to do your backdrop as your structures are soon going to interfere with your ability to get to it. Pat
Perhaps on that raised area some "lower end" homes. Give it a "Company Built" look. Like the Power Plant Company put them there for the workers. Perhaps even some steps down to the Plant.
Have a narrow road come from the room corner and "T" at the wall. Put in some homes as said before. Maybe even a General store at the corner or a "newer" corner store. By having the homes seem "company built" it gives the area history.

If I may make a suggestion, What I would do with that corner is to put in a mountain. This would add a nice separation on the layout, and as far as I can see, you don't have any mountains yet. You could make some nice cliffs and tunnels.
Once your mountain was there, you could put a mine or some other rural biz there.

I agree with "Sir Prize". How about those Sears homes. Would be a nice scratch building projects since most of the plans for those houses are still available.
