Just when I thought I was getting this stuff. I am confused. Do you mean the lead and the runaround should go from the south east towards the north west? The way it looks to me now I would go off of the mainline in a northwest direction via the turnout. Then I see what you mean, the locomotive would need to back down the runaround. I was thinking that the yard engine would not be coming in from the mainline...but I guess that is wrong. If the class 1 engine leaves the freight consist out on the mainline while the yard engine goes out to pick it up I can see how I am backwards. And if the class 1 actually entered the yard to drop off freight it would have to uncouple on the lead, and back up then go forward down the runaround and back back out on the mainline. I will mess with it to try and get it the other way, but my skills are not that good. This took me 3 days the way it is now. I have been trying and trying and trying. Can you think of anything else? What can I do to make the crossovers better? And how about flipping this yard? Any suggestions on how?
