Thanks to triplo finding the shortcoming in one of my track's design, I was able to easily correct it by doing exactly as he suggested by changing the orientation of 2 of the switches. I'll post a new diagram shortly.
Maybe I"ll mention 2 other things just for general interest:
1. the layout is 14 feet wide and 11 feet deep.
2. the 2 tin-plate tracks are both command control DCS. The 2 inner set of track are traditional power, meaning non-command.
I'm so happy now that I actually did create this thread because without tripleo giving a serious look at it I wouldn't have found the flaw in my design until I ran things for testing and then having to tear things up to fix it. The forum comes thru again!
Be back in a day or 2 with a picture of the altered design, even though it's a minor change
