[quote user="steinjr"][quote user="TrainManTy"]Here are the answers to the rest of your questions: [/quote] Well, you didn't actually answer my question about how big the area available for the yard was (as in how many inches deep and how many inches or feet long), but here is an attempt to sketch out your friend Alex's plan, after making these assumptions: <ul> <li>Your cars are on average 50-foot cars, not 89-foot cars ...</li><li>You would like to hold a couple of 5-6 car cuts and a 10-car cut without fouling the main</li><li>Turnouts are mostly no 6, with a few no4 for the topmost single ended tracks</li> </ul>[/quote]Whoops...forgot about that...Those points are basicly correct. I actually have almost finished laying the yard, so I'll post photos and see what you guys can do for modifying that plan. I like the way it looks and it should be easy to operate. I may add switches on the ends of the single ended tracks, as it doesn't decrease how long they are, plus I don't want to feel limited to one end of the yard. I'm going to work on the yard some more tonight, when I'll get photos for you.
