Reply to "The 1952 Lionel Catalog layout, 6 1/2' by 11 1/2'"

I have been watching and reading this for the past few days, and seen this evolve.  I like a lot of it.  Well done.  A question I would ask is what kind of operating do you want to do?  You have a lot of switches, are you looking to do a lot of switching operations or are you going to be a looper, watching your trains run around the tracks.  My view is that if you are going to be a looper then all those extra switches just equal extra expense, and extra time for not a lot of real estate.  Said another way - how many cars do you think you can store on those sidings?  My guess is fewer than you think, and I ran into this same issue.  I have two yards on my layout, and mostly they are used for on track storage as I am a looper.
