John C did the initial drawing and Mark just started learning SCARM. He also has a day job, so I'm just helping him get things done a little faster even though he's got some time before he actually begins construction.
I think the nice thing about this design is that he can have one train running to the loop and back while he uses the turntable to get another train ready to make the same run and even use the passing siding for them to pass each other. Truth be told, I'm not sure the entire siding couldn't be on a grade as long as he doesn't try to park any cars on the siding and just uses it for passing.
Wondering if that bottom left LH turnout can be doubled up to link with a RH turnout that might be added to the return curve to create another reversing loop? Just a thought.
