<P>First off, the layout is 17'x9' and is an island walk in. The only side that's up against a wall is Kampton. I do have some pics ot show this. (BTW, Kampton will be 2' longer, and have an IC interchange, and more industries- the plan would shows this, but Atlas RTS is sometimes IMPOSSIBLE) I do use flextrack, tho.</P> <P>Since I'm sorta pressed for space, track kinda has to be paraell to the table.</P> <P>There's no way trains of the length that I run could pass each other- over half the main line would have to be a passing siding. Plus, I only run with 1 operator (me) 99.9% of the time. But, the yard is wired seperate from everything else and can be run seperately. </P> <P>That one large industry isn't a bad idea, but- there were CGW towns that had clusters of small industries. And there were just as many industries that picked up / delivered their shipments via the team track (which I'm going to try to have somewhere) as there were that had their own sidings (spurs). Remember, it was the 1960s (I model '68)</P>
