OK over by the BNSF Mainline.......I posted a pic of my yard layout in my previous post. I can email it to you if you like.
Just some food for thought... You can gain some extra length on your body tracks by putting the turnouts on your ladder on a smaller angle (example: #6 turnouts on a ladder set on a #5 angle).

N737AA Mike, just looked at your album, nice work! Also looked at your yard plan in album, so can see how you set it up. Lot of proto rail in Tulsa area to model, had thought about modelling some of that myself. Probably will freelance using elements local to Perry area, such as power plant at Sooner Lake, local grain and farm supplies, ect. Kinda got to stretch timeline some, late 50's into the 70's.Are you going to model any of the SSR, SKOL, and TSU equipment?

bnsf76 One of the redesigns will use that idea. Did get a couple of books in and reading them now. Maybe this winter can get started on actually putting some track down.Thanks!

I am freelancing my Central States after the BNSF (former Frisco) Cherokee Sub (Springfield to Tulsa) and Creek Sub (Tulsa to Madill, Tx). The TSU and SK&O are represented on my layout as well as Farmrail (on my layout they now operate the BNSF Avard sub (which passes thru your neck of the woods).
I grew up in St Louis, so it is hard to match that here in Tulsa, but yes there is some good railfanning here, the Port of Catoosa has an interesting flair to it and I am modeling a condedensed version of it as well.
The pics on my album are a bit dated and the yard has been reconfigured to the drawing I sent you. The reconfiguration was the result of actually operating it. Only then did I see what its short comings were. I need to update the album to show the new yard configuration.
Regards,
Here are some pics of my updated yard arrangement.
