[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by fwright</i> <br /><br />A nice plan overall. <br /> <br />I wonder about the length of the wye tail track beyond the crossover - it looks like it's about 12-14". This would be barely enough - with a short loco and a 40ft car - to get loco plus one car at a time into the industrial spurs. To fix, I recommend moving the crossover closer to the wye, giving more of a tail track to access the industrial spurs. Absolute minimum tail length should be the longest loco you would use for switching the spurs plus the longest car you plan on putting on the spurs. <br /> <br />yours in planning <br />Fred W <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Fred, <br /> <br />I totaly missed that and your point was well made I have lengthened the tail track off the wye to 2' 6" by following your advice and changing around some table lengths and isle spacing. Thanks greatly for the good advice. <br /> <br />Peace. <br /> <br />Coyote
