@Ted S I was wondering if I was too tight for the overhang in the curves. I'll DEFINITELY need to ensure that I have appropriate spacing. I appreciate the breakdown on the eased curvatures as well. Gets me headed in the right direction.
I totally agree with added "safe" space inboard of the track. I figured I could always add a few inches here and there 'on the real thing.' I've been more focused on trying to squish all my grandiose "wants" into the layout. The double crossover was me 'cheating' to the side of operating more than being prototypical. I want a way to switch mains on the right side also, but with the s-curves I was thinking it would be more problematic. That way if a train needs to get into the 'receiving yard' track adjacent to the station it won't have to be crossed over WAAAY back before the lift out bridges. Is there a spot there, in your opinion, that would be less of an issue with that added. I'd rather rework this in a 2D program than finding out I've created an operational headache/nightmare for myself that is nothing but problems.
