siding length

[enginear]

Well I thought it was big. I put in a 32' siding. It fits 18 standard length units (engines+cars). I guess I'll need/want a 100+ footer, Joe

I started out with about a 35 footer and a few years later was able to lengthen it to about 50 feet.   It still isn't long enough, so I'm thinking about an 80 footer on the back side of my layout.   Even that probably won't be long enough for my unit train coal drag.
