[quote user="ChevyMan724"] Can someone help me. I've got a 4x8 piece of plywood and all i wanna do is make a freight yard. Can someone give me some ideas to maximize the space... some diagrams, pictures, or websites woud greatly help.. thanks    *HO Scale*[/quote]If you "must" use a 4x8; consider two or three smaller yards connected by a common lead.On my layout; I have one whole town in an area that is smaller.  The long wall at the left of the layout is about 6 1/2' and the point where all of the yards connect is about 4' from the wall.  By runing things at a angle on the 4x8, you could gain some track length.  Warning - I model small team in the early 1900's; not modern stuff.The actual track layout has changed slightly since this:[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/8_10_update_r.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/090406-016_r.jpg[/IMG]The lower town is what I am talking about.
