Yesterday I received the GarGraves 042 right hand switch from Sidehack Ray that I needed for the yard. I assembled the tracks for the yard and placed 40-foot boxcars on to see how many the yard will hold. It looks like 8 if I foul one switch with a car. If I filled the yard with 2-bay hoppers, I should be able to get one additional car on each of the two longer tracks. It would be nice if the tracks were longer, but this isn't bad for a small layout that I want to emphasize mountain scenery. None of the yard tracks are wired or fastened to the roadbed yet. I did run a train both ways through the new 054 right hand switch leading off the mainline and all worked well. I still have lots of wiring to do.
