on one side and the Pennsy style countryside on the other.
I will get some close ups of the yard area so you can see it.
Perhaps do both - the s curve and the deep cross - but I do want to move the dropdown switch to the front.
Thanks!
The s curve r-loops open up more of the center for scenery. Not the best for the train, but it's a toy train, so it can snake. Plus, the double r-loops provide an alternate route around the scenery in the center by crossing over and crossing back on the same run. Throw all four switches to out.
So, keep the r-loops. It's probably what your eye saw to begin with.
