QUOTE: Originally posted by Surfstud31 CN - I see your points about the prototype Putnam - I agree that the track arrangement seems odd but I didn't want just a point-to-point RR. I needed a continuous loop for my kids to run the trains and I have beaten my brain trying to figure out how to try and represent it as the one-track mainline it was and yet still have stations to operate commuter trains. You are right, the purpose of Yorktown Heights (which IS out of order) was to have an extra passenger station and because it's the station where I live. I am trying to figure out a way to perhaps crossover from Mahopac to Yorktown and back to Eastview - but don't hold your breath (easier said than done and may look worse).
QUOTE: Originally posted by SpaceMouse Your layout is is set up so that you could run in either direction, but you ability to switch is not. Right now you can switch everything if you always run counter-clock-wise, but to get into the Yonkers you have to take your engine into the Bronx. Then you can switch everything in. What I am saying is that you need runarounds at your switching points.
