[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by chateauricher</i> <br />As you can see from the timestamp on <b>my</b> posting, you'll notice I'm awake early, too. However, this is due to the fact I work the graveyard shift and have another half-hour before I can go home. <br />[/quote] <br />I am with you friend, my OL still works 5th shift as a stockbroker, the market must go on you know, and it certainly hasn’t helped my own sleep schedule to have her on a separate one. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <br />Anyways, you were looking for come critiques/commentary on your latest plans? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Yes I am, always welcome them from anyone on any topic. It’s the best way I learn and think outside my own box. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <br />I have only one suggestion and it deals with the staging you have in the closet space. Is there anyway you can put a series of curved turnouts in the curve located in the upper right corner? This would form a type of pinwheel and allow you to have much longer yard tracks (increasing overall capacity by almost 1/3). <br /> <br />If putting 3 turnouts in a row takes up too much space, you can try putting one turnout on each leg of the first turnout. I did that on my layout (although I used regular straight turnouts), as you can see in the lower left corner below... <br /> <br /><center>[img]http://www.railimages.com/albums/timothyjohnston/aaj.jpg[/img] <br />http://www.railimages.com/albums/timothyjohnston/aaj.jpg</center> <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thank you for the input Chateauricher I will definitely try it out. Good suggestion and pictures are always incredibly helpful. Now if only I could find a way to have my staging feed into both tracks inner and outer I’d be cooking with gas. <br />Thank you again. <br /> <br />Peace. <br /> <br />Coyote
