pcarrell: I think your last post made up my mind. Instead of busting my brain trying to get the Wye to work or messing with the slip switch (Although both great ideas) I will just leave it the way you suggested back on page 2 with the escape track. That does two things for me. First I can place the escape 9" farther down the spur so hopefully can fit a slightly longer train in my A/D track. If I go with wither the wye or slip solution I would have ot move both of them 9" farther up and shorten my already short A/D track. Also (and the MAIN reason) I can put a tall wooden fence and a row of trees inbetween the main and the yard. You are correct, they are close and can appear much farther apart this way. I was alos starting to think of a hill in the northern most eastern corner with a tunnel on the yard entrance. Then when the train disappears into the portal and comes out of the other side it will look like it came from "somewhere else". I am months away from landscaping but might as well think of it now. <br />Can anyone try to run my layout in a different CAD program? One with the Peco curved turnouts? I only have RightTrack by Atlas and don't want to buy the pay CAD programs out there and have had NO LUCK at all getting that other free one to work (Xtrax I think) I have seen very nice latouts on it but it is too confusing for me. It took me weeks to get as poor as I am with the Right Track program. <br />I would really be appreciative if someone could try to adapt my layout in another program and see if by using some curved turnouts if they canmake a difference. Like for example (curved turnout for industry #1 and the interchange track aas well as the turnout to the yard entrance. And possibly a curved turnout as the very first in the yard leading to the A/D track) If anyone can do this please let me know. <br />Thanks
