On the south side of the Eisenhower Fwy in Chicago is a two level transfer station as track is well below the level of the transfer yard. I helped site the...
The transfer facility could also be enclosed in a large corrugated steel building with all the transfers happening out of view... could also be a sorting...

... Jim, You may be able to fit OO9 or possibly On18 (using 9mm "N"guage track). Then you get into bashing locos or expensive RTR stuff. There is a N guage...
