If I had a point to point only, there would be a huge mess at one end. I get to screwing around with a switcher and forget about my mainline from time to time. My friends layout is a huge double kidney bean shape on two levels that cross over each other. He has a yard on one side of the room and another on the opposite side. We send trains back and forth Point to point and have usually two just running the mainline. We have wired it so we each have an emergency stop that shuts the whole thing down. If we arren't ready for it we just send it around again. We have done the, "Was that headed north or south??" North! (As he pulls the plug). We put index cards on the mains that runs through the yard indicating what direction we are running just to be safe. We got out some older engines once to see if we could successfully get a north bound run in before the southbound got back. Yeah we never did that again.
