N Gauge Layout Arrives

I've just taken on a 6x2 N Gauge roundy-roundy layout, courtesy of eBay. It appears to be suffering from long-term storage but looks pretty sound and in need of some TLC to make presentable again. I'm fed up with photographing ERG stuff against a plain background and would like something a little more scenic.

 

The main concern has to be the eye-watering radius of the curves, which totally preclude anything six-axled running round. A re-design may be required, so I'd be open to suggestions! rolleyes.gif

Tunnel section. The freight stock came with the layout, along with lots of buildings and a GF GWR coach!

Is it a folded figure of 8? Looking at the pictures I can't see any viable way of making the curves less tight unless you make it a single loop. I don't think that this would be a easy prospect. The gradients look quite sharp.
