Hi Jim,
Apologies, I sometimes forget that UK layout building practice isn't always universal!!: )
The layout is a modified version of the Box Street Yard trackplan as found on Carl Arendt's site below:
http://www.carendt.com/micro-l...using-sector-plates/
The plans I included probably don't help with the confusion due to the way SCARM renders the grade crossings. The light grey patches on the plan represent roads or concrete hard standing. Otherwise, I'll try to explain the idea behind the layout as best I can.
The top right part of the track plan is a swinging sector plate hidden behind the backscene. It feeds the top most spur on the plan, as well as both legs of the run around loop.
The top most spur has a pair of car spots alongside the backdrop building behind it, crosses the road and heads into a fenced in private spur - possibly a junk yard or team track, not sure yet.
The centre two tracks are the run around loop, heading across the grade crossing and heading upwards for the loop lead, and down to a spur which houses another couple of industries - a tank car unloading spot and a warehouse - with a car spot each.
The kickback spur in the bottom right of the plan feeds into a concrete hard standing area - this will have another pair of car spots and will likely act as a team track and a transload facility.
Hope this helps?
