Paul, If your staging yard throat is accessible (i.e. not operated remotely) and you want the most room possible, give up on the turnouts altogether. Use a sector plate to route trains in and out. This does away with the throat, all the turnouts, and gives you much more room - makes every track as long as possible. Here's a picture of a setup a friend of mine uses for his staging. Works really well, and it is on a curve as well... http://www.ovar.ca/Mitchell/Staging_Switch-2.jpg (About his layout - http://www.ovar.ca/Mitchell/john_mitchell.htm) Andrew
