DoubleDAZ posted:Mark, here are a couple of alternate configurations. The 1st has a slight change to the passing siding to let you run longer trains and still be able to pass. The 2nd swaps the passing siding for a small storage yard and increases the elevation to 6". The grades for both might be too high, but I didn't know how small of a grade you were wiling to accept.
Dave,
I think this one is the one with another storage track at each end. The yard with the coal hoppers is at the top of the drawing (yellow), the siding is in the middle (the green passing track), and another track at the lower (blue) end. Yes, I may lay it out on the floor after Thanksgiving. Thank you.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
