I agree with John, that it would be best if you had atleast two separate
loops of track.  (I still like Chris' "law" that the continuous loop(s) not
run along the branch of a switch.)  With a layout that size, if only one
locomotive can run at a time, it will look even more bare.  I thought that
one of the reasons for a larger layout was to have the opportunity to run
more trains.

To get more trains moving at once, we would have to cut out some
of the long sidings in the center to make room for the second loop.
IMO, not a problem.
