You might want to step back from the details and think about the big picture. For example, have you noticed that even if you add one reversing loop, once you've entered it, you've shot your wad...there doesn't appear to be a way to re-reverse, if operationally, you would find that desireable...I find that would be very desireable as you appear to have the beginnings of a plausible combination of point to point and continuous running operations. For a layout this size, it would seem a shame to limit yourself to round-and-round plus a bit of switching activity. And seriously think about the desireability of some staging; again, for a layout this size, you should have no trouble providing for it, and it will be something you'll really appreciate later on. I see your eagerness to proceed by your photographs...and...if I were in your shoes, I'd be studying your track plan and what it allows you to do before laying track. John Armstrong's book (and may he rest in peace), "Track Planning for realistic operation" raised my level of thinking about operations in a very significant way; because of him, I've torn up a lot of sketches but precious little track! <br /> <br />...this is all just my $0,02's worth...good luck and keep us posted
