Jarrell, <br /> <br />I agree with every one about the run around thing (see my post on questions). <br /> <br />In this instance will the shay be able to turn around at the mill?? If not it will probably push cars up the grade and pull them back down. You could solve one of your problems here by moving the mainline switch farther to the right in your diagram and making the siding parallel to the track heading up to the mill by flipping the wye. This means that a loco can pull in head first to the siding, pull out a cut of cars. Back out and then pu***hem up the hill. Backing down the cars are pushed back into the siding headfirst. You will still need a run around on the mainline depending on the direction of travel of the approaching train.
