I've been thinking about my layout for some time now, wondering what it was I didn't like about it. Finally decided that there were too many turnouts, too close together making things look not very realistic.
I took out all the track, and rather than drawing out a new plan, I just positioned track and turnouts in what looked "right."
Here is a shot from about track level looking east at what will eventually be tall buildings in the corner. In the foreground to the left you can see the Massey Fergusson foundry building with a bit of the overhead crane showing an abandoned siding which which get a lot of weeds around and over it. To the right is Weston's Bakery.
