Hi
I put together a layout using fastrack and have quickly realized that I don't really need the reversing loop - so I am going to add a yard instead - below is a before and after - would love to get some thoughts.
Note that the layout has a 2% grade (so the right side is higher than the left side) - I would be keeping the yard level with the left side
Also note that I was planning on adding some BTS buildings on the 2 spurs nearest the top of the diagram (a switcher shed and a car servicing facility) with the 3 lower spurs being used for staging/car storage.
Before
After
