I thik I would staple some butcher paper to a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood and lay out the track plan in full scale right on the paper. Just forget rts or other track planning software.

That would be fine except it's going to be 3x6.
(Which makes it even more interesting to squeeze in there.)
This is why flex track exists. I like to think of it as; Computers are digital, it is either on, or it is off, nothing in between. Analog is everything "in between".....flex track is analog. Track planning software is digital, therefore, inflexible (pun intended), the mind can conceive, and create, in analog. I, for one, love the "continuously variable".

But he's too chicken to try flextrack... hence the stiff trackplan...
(cluck cluck cluck!)
A slightly different plan
This is a track I call 'Monza Loop' because it vaguely looks like that racetrack.
Its a double track that turns into a twice around by throwing the 4 red switches.
Theres a small yard just left of center, some switching, and you can do two trains or run the twice around

Its a door layout (30x80 inches)
