After looking at several different stations over the internet i think i noticed one thing, they actually look nothing like the one in the plan :( from all the sources i have looked it it seemed the most common station would only really hold two trains at a time.

As you can tell i have far to much time on my hands ( i hate being ill, so boring and i just cant bare to watch day time tv). I guess its back to basic's then.

That's very true but initially you asked for a plan that would accommodate more than two trains (8 or 9 in fact) so that's what we gave you. It now appears that realism is higher on your list of priorities than first thought so I would suggest going with the type of layout that has a visible (but heavily compressed) station with several storage sidings hidden behind a backscene. Possibly along the lines of Trev's suggestion.

this is the problem when you have to much time sitting in bed :( you start to nit pick things to fill your time, i was thinking that if i add in a second level i could have some storage sidings hidden under here.

The problem is i dont want to start building and in a months time be unhappy with what i have been putting together.
