Atanz - I did have one in the area you mentioned, but I couldn't figure a second reverse without using the yard ladder. While functional, I really didn't want to fowl the yard with reverse traffic and I really don't like having to back through to reverse. I can accommodate reversing in a bit of a convoluted fashion. The runaround by the coal loader can be used for facing point movements as designed, or just pull the whole consist back out in a reverse direction. Freight operates in mainly a counter clockwise direction, so my passenger train will operate in a clockwise direction to give me the effect when it is running.
The more I look at it though, I may have an idea to try....
Carl - Fold down is interesting. With the panel just having turnout throws, buttons, and a small transformer for the operating tracks, a drop down would work and allows a bit more real estate.
Thanks for the ideas!
