CAPPilot posted:Here is an idea for the yard. Did this quick so it could be cleaned up. It uses two Ross curved O-72/O-54 switches, keeping a minimum of O-72 from the outer loop to the turntable for the Big boy.
I also eliminated the crossover to the engine house to allow placement of a coaling tower, water tower, sanding tower for your steam engines. There are other ways to get this done. Just a thought.
I also did an insert with a yard lead if you wanted one. Since your layout is for loop running I'm not sure it is needed. You could put one crossover between any two yard tracks for an engine escape.
Thanks for the input, That was honestly me trying to be uber switcher loco.
