Thanks Dave and Jan, your insights and help have been amazing. Those charts are awesome and that helps a lot with trying to figure out the fastrack and scarm software. You are both wizards at using it!
Last night I played around and made the yard spurs on lower right much longer by tightening up the loop around the turntable. I’ll post that when I have some time to add it to Jan’s latest update.
I’m in holidays this week so as soon as I get home I will try out the lower loop changes and then we can give those upper loops a try!
I have toyed around with the idea of reducing the upper loops to a single track on the left and then opening into the double with a long passing siding basically as is on the right. I think I’ll build it as the double loop to start and if it’s too busy I can always remove that part.
Unfortunately I’ll have to get more O72 switches. Yikes those are pricey! I’m actually going to my first York ( and maybe only - it’s a very long trip) this fall so maybe I can wait to get them there. The retail here at train store is insane.
I never thought of this before, but here are a couple of links to see videos of the train room and the basic bench work and lower loop mostly as is. Maybe that helps....
You guys are awesome and I thank you both again for all your help!!
