This is the very beginning of my small G-scale layout (5' x 8').
I hope this new link works better...

Its a start. At Christmas I setup a loop+ around the old tree. It is amazing how much action you can fit in small area like yours. I use 6 switches to keep it interesting. One thing I do is run short equipment on it which seems to work and look better on the tight curves.
Have fun and Happy RRing

well, I'll play...
either too complicated (reducing min radius when you should take all the space)
or
too boring (really)

Tht looks like a good plan. It is nice to have a alternate route and if you create a block on the inside and out you can have 2 trains ready to go.
Have fun.

Yeah that's better Old Bandit. Even if you have only one train it is good to have somewhere to else to go! To have a place for parking cars you don't want in the consist rather than having to lift and remove which is more likely to cause damage and hassle. Only one point though, pull your entire design either to the left or right so future possible siding/s (spurs) or extra (extended) passing loop running from bottom and up the side. Good to keep the options open even if you don't want one now.

It's absolutly the same diameter (4') for all the curves of this layout.
I run only short trains (3 or 4 cars) and I can park the other cars on the passing siding.
