I really appreciate the scenic treatment, especially capturing the Elk River junction. That is the beauty of N scale. This small branch-line has been modeled many times as it should provide realistic operation & keep a couple of operators busy. It could easily be expanded to include backwoods logging in the mountains, as well.
I currently have an E shaped layout in a 9×11 room but have considered a design like yours.
Your type gives more stagging than my current layout.
Good design.
