mbinsewi It's not that far down the list, you could've just continued with it but, whatever. The moderator might combine them anyway. I always thought that the roundhouse and turn table was usually by the yard, and other locomotive facilities. Yours seems to be on the other end of your "world", not that it matters, I guess. Looking at your new version, in your "other" thread, I see only 1 track to the turn table? Did you get the walls finished? and backdrop ready? Mike.

Mike, thanks...i will continue with my old thread. As for the round house etc, i have not decided to even keep it or not but i didnt really have room at the lower curve for it to fit properly next to the yard so i may just omit the turntable all together and just go with the engine service building and facility. As for the backdrop and walls, yes sir i did.....Thanks!
On your center peninsula, you might think about eliminating the reverse loops at the turnback curve. Extend the curves leading into the peninsula (curves from the wall into the peninsula at the right) and then make the straight track tangent to the turnback curve at the left and the peninsula-entry curve at the right. If you plan passing sidings on these straight tracks, you'll find you have a lot more length to work with than in your current diagram.You can go even farther, and in that distance you have room for some large-radius cosmetic curvves if you like (even with passing sidings), or if you prefer the straight tracks, you might find the longer straights look better to you than the shorter ones on your plan. And you'll get a better view down the tracks of the straight sections from the turnback curve.
All according to whatever your preferences are, of course. Just a thought.

Agree with Mike. Just continue your thread already made - that way it could be a sort of blog like topic.

Hello guys, i recently updated my N scale track plan from what it was intended to be taking into account a lot of your alls suggestions. I posted the newest version of my plan on my old thread but it seemed to be way down at the bottom of newer posts so i thought i would create this new thread, sorry if it causes any problems. Anyways, if you guys dont mind give me some input on the latest design and your recommendations.....Thanks a ton everyone!
