Hey guys,
I did some modification work, opened the yard up for longer trains, the A/D track is much bigger in this version. I added the turntable in because I still want a way to reverse the departure of the locomotive. I think the yard curves are overkill, whats the minimum radii that I can go down to while still being able to get a large car through (i.e. Autocarrier)? The only thing I don't like about the large yard version is less room for industry, but it's late and my brain is starting to hurt, so maybe ill think of something in the morning.
I also attached the layout version that's a folded dog bone. It's a less along version here, but I felt like I didn't have enough space to get the reversing switches in, while still running a yard on the bottom of the layout.
Thanks for all your comments! Getting others thoughts is important to me, especially the ones that have been through this a few more times.
Let me know what you think!
Bobby
