@Genemed posted:Thanks Arnold, with the direction of trains running I may add an additional set of turnouts going to the other loop for ease of direction.
I opted for, and built, a switching layout with 2 main loops that are independently powered and interconnected. It also has 8 independently powered and interconnected sidings and 1 independently powered and interconnected passing siding.
I don't think I have a diagram of it. I ad libbed over a long time when I built it. It has held my interest for 25 years. Arnold
