It took painstaking work to accomplish but here it is! It's a Masterpiece of railroad planning! We now have Phil's flattened S curves and Fred & Phil's siding in Yonkers/Bronx - made it bigger guys, you like? Still kept better than 18" radius too. Not too shabby. We also now have leading tracks into the yard and a turnout in the middle of yard to assist switching operations. Someone asked about the turntable - the one shown is small 90' but mine will be 130' - that's why I left some room to accomodate it. I'm pretty sure I can fit it. Notice there is a hidden staging track now - I went back to train room and realized there is a window which will be behind my backdrop. Pretty slick, eh? It will only fit short commmuter trains but that is what the Harlem Line ran pretty much in those days (nowadays they are rather lengthy). I really like the wharf area idea too, not too far a reach either since the Put is near the Harlem & Hudson rivers. I'll have to give that some serious thought. <br /> <br />Once again I put forward to all of you the ultimate track plan - give me the good, bad, and ugly. So far your ideas and suggestions have been awesome. I challenge you now to tear this plan apart. Let me have it! LOL! <br /> <br />[img]http://mysite.verizon.net/vze2vj37/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/putfinal.jpg[/img]
