[quote user="wjstix"] Just a thought - the sand facility on a real railroad would have been in place long before the diesel fueling area, since engines have used sand since woodburner days. So it's a bit unrealisitic to have to do the gymnastics you're describing to deliver sand. If possible, I'd move the diesel servicing area somewhere else and allow a separate spur track for the cars delivering sand that doesn't require going on the turntable. [/quote] You bring up an excellent point.  Failed to see the forest instead of the tree.  Accidental pun.
