    Check out this thread on HO shelf switching layouts.

    It's very much worth the time to read through the whole thing as it discusses many issues concerning shelf switching layouts, and Stein and others post some great ideas.

    Some of the images have broken links, but there are many groovy shelf layout ideas in this thread that you could join / adapt / be inspired by.

    You can't get any smaller than the 1,500 layouts on Carl Arendt's Microlayouts site. Your layout would be considered enormous by their standards.
