Well I acquired some well needed space here in the subterranean empire for a well needed yard. The tentative yard space is 30" wide x 12' long and actually resides right over the top of my deck where I am typing this, yes we are squeezing every available inch of space out of the train room. It will have a section at the one end 30"W x 36"L that may house a transfer table (being as Walthers keeps dropping the price) and car shops right behind my engine facility. This space will be ahead of the yard space so don't consider that into what ever
I was thinking about making it a double end rather then stub end yard as I want to continue onto the next wall which will be a narrower section of shelf so to speak housing double or single track I haven't decided yet and scenery and a few structures. Then tie it all into the main section of the layout.
So rather then just start throwing down turnouts and connecting them with flex track my usual method of madness I though why not try something new and different and actually follow a track plan. Problem is I haven't really found anything yet so I'm turning to my brethren for help. Ok stop laughing guys
and give me your ideas on what might work in this space
Thanks

I reject your reality and substitute my own
