Reply to "A challenging Track plan"

Adding to what's already been suggested: I really like your plan and your attention to the details.  Excellent work on the bridges too.

About your Atlas turntable, it seems like it might fit within your existing plan like this under the Red track.

Turntable

Unsure of which of the Atlas turntables you have, the one in this example is the "older" (SCARM description)  26" dia., 23 position.  If you also want engine sheds around the turntable, it seems like the turntable position could maybe be tweaked to accommodate a couple sheds on the upper right of the turntable.

Another thought about the duct clearance, if you might be inclined, to gain some additional headroom (above the bridge).  I'm guessing it is either lowered from the ceiling joists there in the middle to clear some obstruction, or perhaps because of some unnecessary reason.  If for the second reason, you could have it changed out for a new duct fabricated to replace part of what is there now (outlined in red).   As long as the cross-sectional area of the replacement duct is the same it could be wider, not as tall (itself) and up higher overall.
