<p>After discussion with the other half of the railroad management some additional modifcations were made:</p> <p>Piers were swapped to facing point from Rigby to allow Yard 8 (the one at the top) to be moved down to provide scenery space. Track spacing was adjusted in yard 8. Minimum separation between tracks is now 1.88" (1 or 2 parallel tangent tracks), with most being greater than 1.92". Curve tracks are between 2" and 2.1" spacing will be adjusted if necessary, but I dont have any articulated locomotives, mostly small just small steam and 4 axle diesels, so this is less of a concern at the moment. </p> <p> </p> <p>Lakes class steamer (Walthers) is planned to parallel to the pier at yard 8).</p> <p>I reworked the SD Warren Paper company tracks to minimize the reach in, and make better use of the corner of the room ( the aisle was only a foot wide, and I realized there is a knee wall (actually a hip wall @39" that sticks out 1' on 3 sides of the room) so that 1' wasnt actually accesible anyway.</p> <p>Edit:</p> <p>I appologize for the poor quality of the photographs, RR track software only allows me to export to BMP files. I could try printing screen to MS Paint.</p> <p><img id="fullsizeMedia" style="width:1000px;height:497px;margin-top:41.5px;" src="http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r486/BMMECNYC/Portland%20Terminal%20company%2023%20ft%205%20by%2015ft%202%20double%20ended%20yard%20Version2_zpskdsa4wsm.png" alt=" photo Portland Terminal company 23 ft 5 by 15ft 2 double ended yard Version2_zpskdsa4wsm.png" width="1000" height="485" /></p>
