Thanks for the tip. ill have to take a look at the design to see if I can use different size switches. I might try O48 switches for the yard and possibly for the main line. not sure if I can get O60 to work in my space. I am trying to avoid having to cut fastrack.

Also if you are going to get into Legacy purchase the FT Command Control Switches, that are controlled from your Cab2 or Cab1 remotes. IMO 036 switches are to tight for all the different engines and rolling stock, my advise is to use
at least 060 or bigger on your main line and 048's for your sidings.
