I don't think I understand the double slip solution. Is that a special turnout or is it just a crossover switch? If it is just a crossing then wouldn't that force the loco into going right from the yard to the inner loop and not be able to go to the outer? Not that that is a problem but since it occurs so close to the beginning of the A/D track it shortens the length. In the 3rd solution I don't see how I could get the locomotive off of the front of the train. If the loco pulls into the A/D track all the way past the first turnout on the yard lead then it is stuck at the end of the spur. It would have to sit there until the yard goat broke the enitire train down. I do however like the wye solution, but it is hard to get things lined up.
