[quote user="wickman"] I'm back seeking  somemore help and ideas after getting  such great results from you's.  I decided that no reverse loops will be needed but what I would like to do and seeking better ways of doing it is to keep the continuous loop but also be able to utilize the turntable and two tracks that are leading to it, we'll call  the exits east and west , idea is , no matter which way the train  is traveling  I want to be  able to stop the train  , disconnect from  train and use run around to enter to the rail to the turntable  on both the right side tracks and the left side  track.    My problem is I'm having a hard time accepting the fact that I would have to reach across over buildings to connect/disconnect to the cars.   What other way can  I do this so I can have the continuous run option but also have proper Turntable use? Is  the location  I've specified the  best or are there other options you's see?   Apparently this  is the way to run continuous but also do  operations with the use of a Turntable.   If more information is needed please don't hesitate to ask and I will provide. The Turntable is a 90 foot which takes 13 inch mount hole.
