I saw another "S" curve and I don't think we needed the second switch on the escape.

BTW. I also rotated the layout 90° and resized the work space. My old eyes have a hard time when the longest dimensions are on the Y axis instead of the X axis. Feel free to ignore it and make any changes to your file.

FWIW, I only raised 2 daughters and my wife did most of that because I spent way too many hours at work or TDY.

Thanks. Those are some fantastic fixes shown in red. One of the guys above suggested the pull through, so I added one (above the red on your version) but I still haven't figured out what I'm going to do with it. I don't see how I can pull apart a return train nor assemble one there.  I don't mind having it as a passing siding but am thinking I missed the point.  Should I connect it to the red spurs in the yard?

I got the entire mainlines laid today and stopped at the yard, so I'll do that tomorrow (we're having Thanksgiving as one of our daughters is an RN and works tomorrow).

We had 3 daughters for most of the time....they're 27, 26, and nearly 23. I got out of the Air Guard as an O-3 right before #3 was born. Our 4th was conceived 10 years later. She's only 13 and we're 55.
