Gary - I agree. Not sure if you saw the design of the main layout revised by Carl back on 3-14, but I'd say 90% of the train running will be done on the side of the wall away from and not be impacted by the yard. I think for most of us, space limitations force us to compromise from what would be the ideal layout to one that fits into the allotted space and provides the most entertainment value for us and our families and friends. In this case, I'm willing to compromise on an occasional fouling of the main in order to achieve what I believe provides the best bang for my situation.
Carl - That looks great. I see where the misalignment points are. From my experience with FT, I'd say there's probably enough "give" to make it work. I'll try to save it to SCARM and let you know if I have any issues. Thanks again and, if you have time in a few months, I'll probably be back when it comes time to build the main layout.
