I do not intend to offend and offer apologies if I do. However, those layout look like the layout of my Lionel train set
when I was a boy, oh so long ago. White Creek is the way to go.

I say do the Sacramento Vally Live Steamers, it would look a little more realistic and more interesting then the other ones.

Good choice! But looks like i got 2 votes on White Creek and 1 for Sacramento. I checked out the white creek, looks little more challenging for me. I can do it!

No offense intended from me, wither, but your plans look much more suited to Trainz than to TS2013. I will also note, however, that Rich Garber's first few efforts for Allaboard Rails also followed a model railroad pattern rather than one resembling an actual railroad. Finally, I don't find any of these plans interesting.

If you're looking for model railroad plans, why not take a look at Frank Ellison's Delta Lines. It set the benchmark for modelers for decades and has tons of operational possibilities. You can find a number of reprints of the Delta Lines on the internet. You could use straightened-out version of the Delta Lines trackplan and DEM from the New Orleans area.
You can find Frank's article, "The Art of Model Railroading" here:
