Personally, for a switching layout, I wouldn't double track the loop. It will look a little better single tracked (when you have tight radius curves), be easier to build, be easier to operate, and make more room for the industries. But, if you want the double track loop for double running, and/or if that congested inner-city multi-track look is what you are trying to achieve, than that will do fine. <br /> <br />Regardless, I would move the spur in the upper-right-hand corner up to the top track. This would then allow you to straighten out the yard ladder (and add one or two car capacity to those tracks), and lessen the propensity of the cars to derail during switching. <br /> <br />---jps
