Per your request, here is an approximate mockup of what I am describing:
The unshown track to the left is the yard area that requires the engine to switch ends.
Please post a simple drawing of the track plan.

I lack the cranium capacity to figure out what you are describing. Thanks.

Got yet another one for my Forum friends. I am having a debate as where to put a pair of uncoupling magnets on an industrial spur. The situation is that the switcher will pull cars from the yard but when the switcher gets ready to deliver the cars, it has to push those cars because of the way the sidings are designed. I have the "main" and a passing siding. Where do I put the magnets: on the siding or on the main? The area is single engine operation. As usual, any help that can provided would be most welcomed.
