For a number of reasons: - it has a purpose (junction mainline/branchline w/small yard for reblocking trains) - adequate staging - mainline has double ended staging, branch line ends in carfloat - good idea to use elevated mainline to break layout into yard and branch scene on left - good idea to use a vertical lift bridge on high line across aisle, to make duckunder less severe - yard is well executed, one operator classifying cars, one handling arrival/departure - most industries are of a size that seems large enough to need frequent switching, and has multiple tracks/car spots Well done! I would have loved to have a chance to run trains on this one. Other three layouts was also well done, but this one was especially spot on for my taste. Smile, Stein

I like Piegon Point for the same reasons also.
Other three four layouts was also well done, but this one was especially spot on for my taste.

I love the two 3 point turn arounds.
The job is not so tough this time as there are only 5 entries. Just pick your favorite from the bunch, come back and tell us. Well, maybe it won't be so easy. Each has it's merits and picking just might be a matter of what fits your style best.
If you want, tell us the why or why not.
