Reply to "Building this layout - any revisions or advice? Ross switches and GG track"

Greg,

Your plan picture is missing some key "reach" details (dimensions), so my main comment is that any engine that derails on a roundhouse lead track near the turntable looks like it will require a long reach over track and scenery to fix the problem.  Big, heavy engines will make that reach just a bit harder.

And, here's a "something to think about" comment.  Looks like you have quite a bit of space available, so, have you considered an around the wall layout?  You could build it U-shaped or E-shaped, with reversing loops on the ends of the two longer E legs, and with your yard and engine terminal on the middle E leg.  If you choose U-shape, your yard and engine terminal would go at the end of one leg with a nice reversing loop at the end of the other leg.

Just something to consider.
