<p>Thanks Stein.Now the link opens as an XTrak drawing.Now I can run some simulations including the one you posted above.There is however one aspect of the layout that I can't make up my mind on.In the team track area the loading platform that I have will be able to serve 2-40' box cars as well as trucks.There is also a ramp for truck use.I also want to be able to handle loads from flats or gondolas.My idea was to use an overhead crane which would straddle the team track.Walthers makes one and from the looks of it I would be able to reduce the length of it so it wouldn't take up too much room.My other option would be a couple of mobile cranes.I already have one that is mounted on a truck frame.I was also thinking of adding a tracked crane.Any thoughts? By the way-how is your progress coming on your layout?Ibelieve it is being modeled after Airlake Park.Any new pictures?Talk to you later-Bob </p><p> </p>
