A trainset inspiration...

I picked up the January copy of Model Railroader today for some light reading. It features there annual starter project, this year a 4x8 based on coal mining country in the Appalacians.
It's use of sharp curves, gradients and clever view blocks has me wondering of a similar plan could be drawn up for my 009 project?

    Look at the Dovey Valley railway by Dick Wyatt, and the Gairloch & Wester Ross by Stan Williams and Roger Christian, for 009 layouts that fit a long run and scenery into a compact space.

    Michael - thanks, 009 is a topic I'm fairly fresh in to having been a HO and OO modeller in my youth and G-scale in the garden more recently. The Dovey Valley looks an interesting track plan, will look at it more closely :)
