Wow, lots of information to process. Steinjr, I like that move you showed. I have never seen that before.
Anyway, all the comments seem to be about the staging. One of the things I was always told back in the day ( before family life got in the way of railroading ) was to never let your engine ( or caboose ) get trapped.
So, if you look again you will see that I have run a rounds all over the place. That is the reason for the turnout at the end of staging. It occurred to me that I could back in ( or out ), but it didn't seem right somehow. But, if that will work better, I am all for it.
But one question. Would staging be something like a fiddle track? I have a small interchange on my house layout and I pull cars into it and pull them back out the same cars next session. Kind of boring seeing the same cars, so I would like to get away from that. And again, I had only planned one staging track, the rest is just a runaround.
Keep the ideas coming. I need all the help I can get !
Galen and Josh, I have no problem moving the yard. That's where it was on my original track plan.

put a hundred thousand miles on my knees.
