It doesn't look like your aisle is getting too narrow, but I might be missing something. Does your choice of track line have curved turnouts? That might give you a little longer passing siding, and a little smoother flow. Another option for the yard ladder would be to have a lefthand turnout at the last section of curve before the passing siding (does that make sense?). It would move the yard ladder over some 18". The yard would be longer, but the space for the turntable and roundhouse would be significantly decreased, so that depends on what you want. As far as the spurs facing the same way, maybe you can take the one spur that's on the left peninsula (close to the tunnel entrance), and move it so that it connects to the track on the wall (close to where the "B" is). That way, you'll also avoid having the train moving back and forth inside of the tunnel when switching that spur. I do have a situation like that in my layout, and it works so far, but if I could have avoided it, I would have. Anyway, just some more thoughts to get the ideas flowing. ---jps
