@rattler21 posted:The pink track spur which ends in the upper right corner could be continued via a curve and join the right hand straight portion immediately south of the very short spur. If that short spur will someday be longer, a crossing track could be laid now. This will provide a reverse loop for the pink circuit. John in Lansing, ILL
Thanks for this! I will work on it.
@Dave_C posted:I usually don’t get involved in ones track planning. The area with the 4 way Ross turnouts. It doesn’t seem to justify the expense of these turnouts as to what you are capable of storing there. I’m guessing maybe after clearance issues. 20 cars max.
The area to the upper right doesn’t look to busy. Seeing you are using Ross track. I might look into using curved turnouts to get the yard started much sooner. It looks like it would end up being twice as long. Looks like you would need to move an industry. You could still keep it with a shorter spur.
So right now, the yard is about 110 inches, and assuming 15 inch car lengths, prob fit around 7 on each with no clearance issues. I think you're right though. I should extend the yard.
Would you curve it up and try to mirror the top pink/blue tracks or just go straight?
