Ross four-way switch yard operations and types of yards

Also, I have been reading this from NMRA (Link to NMRA Yard Document)

With a couple of Double Slips. ?? a couple of 105's ??.  Gargraves track.  Pictured is a Curtis Ross yard throat.  Fort Pitt Highrailers yard module throat.  4' X 6'.  There are two additional 4' X 6' yard modules, Total 18' X 4' Yard.  

I arranged my yard on my new build with two lead tracks, they'll each feed one 4-way Ross switch.  I'll have eight yard tracks.  Just another way to skin that cat.

Hi John, can you show a diagram or picture of how the two lead tracks come together at two 4 way switches?

Thank you John,

Paul

They won't "come together", each of the two lead tracks will feed one of the 4-way switches.  I haven't drawn the yard yet as I want to get the main layout up and running first, then I'll add the yard.  I'm just running the stubs out to the table edge for now.  I actually do have the 4-way switches, I found them on OGR.

So this is what I have so far. Not sure if I should curve the yard and A/D tracks to use the rest of the table and make it longer. Might not be a good use of table space if I try to get some industry as well.

Any pointers?

What's the point of the DS switches?  That were you trying to accomplish there?

Same question. What would be the yard lead and where would the double slips lead to?

Double slips lead to additional track to park the yard switcher(s).  And the club had the double slips.  First club rule: All parts are used/second hand, seldom use new items. Second rule:   Use everything, if possible.   

Similar on my home layout.
