Carl,
It took me awhile to reposition the building that I had planned for the layout to work on your latest revised track plan, however, I feel that is was really worth the effort.
Everything seems to work well and your new plan does everything that I wanted with less switches and at considerably less cost.
The plan still fits on the 4'-10" X 9'-8" space that I have available and I could still add a few inches to the longer side if necessary. The whole board will be mounted on casters so that I can move it away from a wall along the opposite side from the station for building and any (grandchildren-caused) mishaps that may happen.
I have attached a few "snapshots" of the layout as it now looks.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Howard
