<p>Interesting take on my ramblings. Actually, I like the idea of running two engines at the same time, and hadn't concerned myself with the "function" of the railroad. Having considered your response, I have redesigned. I have 3 different layouts and I think this one is beginning to "fire my rockets" as you say. Though, there is still something not quite right. Ideas anyone?</p><p> The scenario is simple. Mainline from the NE and SW. Yard in SE accepts goods from W, switches in yard, then road engine takes goods from yard to industry. Road engine then leaves cars at industry, picks up finished goods waiting at siding. Proceeds to take finished goods to yard/NE/SW. Meanwhile, switcher picks up now empty cars from the industry and returns them to yard. And on it goes....details not quite figured out...as in what industry, and so forth. But it's a start...and much more interesting than just double ovals....still working. Thoughts?</p><p>Thanks.[img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2126/2072618077_e329289ae7.jpg?v=0[/img] </p>
