<p>[quote user="Choops"]</p> <p>Here is what I come up with that will fit. #6 switches.</p> <p><a href="https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xlp1/v/t1.0-9/10157326_10207149711935481_8623242566529049444_n.jpg?oh=bc6ab8bd1b959de28cf2a708267a9cbe&oe=572F1E0C">https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xlp1/v/t1.0-9/10157326_10207149711935481_8623242566529049444_n.jpg?oh=bc6ab8bd1b959de28cf2a708267a9cbe&oe=572F1E0C</a></p> <p>Steve</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>I like the look of Steve's plan above. Maximizing the radius where possible is a good idea. You can eliminate the switchback by installing a curved turnout (LH) in the upper left on the outside main line. Your crossover could be added in somewhere as a dummy track to represent another unmodeled railroad crossing yours. You could even add an interchange track (partial) so that rail cars can leave your railroad (interchanges are "universal industries" ie: anything can enter or leave your railroad from one).</p>
