Ray , Know the North Wales lines well , used to stay there at weekends as a teenager . We could see the trains from the "bungalow" in the dunes . (Bungalow made from old Victorian carriages , complete with fittings from old passenger ships , and a proper cooking "range" , even had Victorian oil-lamps , All Bulldozed in the early 70's when the 99 yr lease ran out . Now a massive caravan park !
Nearly forgot - The line on your plan needs to be a twin track - I do have pics of Loco depots etc in the area if you want any

Ray I would opt for a centre operated layout every time . The smallest I built was in a shed 6'6" x 4'6" ( Hannem 1)
It may be a squeeze but its better than something over 3 feet wide !
Worth modifying the Freezer plan .

Ray,
Join the club - I too tested every point or bit of track as it was laid , none was ballasted until the section was complete and had been used for regular running . Looking good keep posting the pics .
