These latest two versions are definitely a lot more clean and usable and prototype-looking. Considering that there was a wye at one end of the Willits yard, I'd endeavor to make the wye visible. Things are coming along, though! Eager to see the latest version with the relocated turntable...


For laughs and giggles I built a wye in a blank area. It was 5 feet by 3 feet. I'd have to give up a lot to get it in.

Hi Chip,
Your yard looks better, now you have both roundhouse leads in order. Perhaps a Wye turnout may work better in the upper right. Just a thought. I made my yard plans a tad track heavy too, untill I actually built it, take car...John
