With this creation, I believe there is a good way to have a waterway in it and still have plenty of room for switching and buildings.

In the last diagram, on the 2×8 N-Scale layout that shows Low Relief buildings against the backdrop on top of the layout and water on the bottom, a bridge could go along the track that goes off and out of sight to the left. Water can then flow under the bridge and into the area between the first and second tracks without disturbing the turnouts. A lighthouse could go before the first track.

There wouldn’t be a lot of water showing, and it would require some inspection before anything is permanent to see if the water makes the layout seem cluttered up. But it is a way to have switching between a waterway and everything is still accessible.
