Hi Galen --
Good point. I already have a couple of mirrors from an earlier track plan for an earlier layout I could reuse. Will have to look into that when I get that far.
Mmm - must be the angle for the team track that makes it visually similar - the three sidings are not really 5-3-3 in length. More like 6-5-4. But the lead is engine plus 2 if you don't want to foul the main. So - yes - I can definitely see the similarity.
Edit: yet another change - to make it possible to switch both the yard tracks and the warehouse district while a thirds train is moving around and around on the mainline track:
