Reply to "New Atlas-O extended O54 version. O60/O54 revision (plus other features) to the 12x12 Ideal Layout, Re-Imagined Plan"

So I was running trains, and trying some switching on my little 4x10 layout, which emphasized what I already knew:  its pretty darn hard to couple on a curve!   I took a look to see if I could increase the diameter of the yard tracks.  With a couple of adjustments, I was able to go to O108, O99, O90, O81.   I think I may order some of these wide diameter tracks to see if coupling can be acheived, and under what circumstances.

About 73.5" on the longest yard spur.  The three in-most yard tracks all have straight sections of track before the curve, which will help with coupling a cut of cars on the straight, which may then extend across the curves to the end of the spur, and the coupling can be achieved on the straight sections.
