Building a small shunting layout

[roganty]

I forgot this rule:
"The length of an Inglenook Sidings type layout is easy to establish - it's a total of 8 times the length of the rolling stock to be used (5 in the uppermost siding plus 3 in the headshunt) plus the length of the locomotive to be used plus the length of the first point."
I must draw a few new track plans.

I'm sure you've seen this page, but you could cut the size down to a 3-2-2 puzzle instead.

Thanks. First idea to solve the problem: using short wheelbase wagons like (for example) Hornby R6422. As you wrote, I can also downsize the layout.

I decided to restart that project with the track plan bellow. The KISS principle applies here !

So I decided to build a very classic Inglenook sidings

I also printed my own track mat:

And this is the result:
