Do some things differently but leave others the way they are. It will be possible to explain more completely if you tell or show us something about your layout. I look forward to future posts from you.

just like ideas to upgrade my layout because im bored with it right now

add an incline up to a second level of track. maybe a bridge or two over the lower level, and a couple of spur tracks to some factories. then start delivering cars to all those factories, and pulling loaded cars. send the loaded cars to other factories on your line. in other words, get away from just watching your trains chase themselves around an oval. that gets boring really quick. give your railroad a purpose......
