Perfect! That's what I was hoping to hear! I've got it configured now (in my plans) for 6 carlength spurs, but that's from the yard limit to the bumper, so I'll just extend the length of the spurs to be a total of 11 carlengths (5 more than what I have now), and do just what you said. Spot the #1 car under the tipple, with the other 5 above the mine, and when they're loaded, the #1 car will be at the yard limit, and the #6 will be under the tipple. That way I still get a total of 18 cars 'loaded'. Now the question is... what % grade should I make the 'slope' to the lower portion of the loading yard? I would want it noticeable enough that when looking at it, you can see that it's slanted down to the mine, but small enough to be able to park the cars when the loco first spots them. <br /> <br />Oh the possibilities. :-D
