1st Stumbling block for me

I guess my main problem is the fact I dont really understand how the whole switching thing works. I mean I can stick switches here and there but what am I actually doing. Im guessing the main thing is to not clog the mainline, but what if I have to back into a switch? Should I make passing lanes fist then a switch or what. <br /> <br />Also can I cross over track, and if I can is there any benifit? Looking at what I have it seems near impossible to put my spurs and sideings and whatever they into my industry ares with out crossing over my mainline loops. <br /> <br />I was up until 2 a.m. last night tooling with xtrkcad, I think Ive come up with a way to run 26 inch Radi, but Im having a hard time figuring out where to stick my industrus so that the switch is fun and semi relistic.
