Ive been doing some looking and Ive decided that I wont change the layout of the Red Rock Northern too much. The space i will be using is a little larger, mor elike 11x11 so I can make the layout a little large in one direction. Other than that, the only other real change is where there is a tunnel to send trains behind the yard, and to some "staging" I will make a second level where I can have another yard, and some more switching opportunities so its not all on one level, and I can strech the mainline out a little bit. I need to find out how to draw up plans that I can put up on here so I can get opinions and some help with benchwork planning. I want to have the second yard under the first, and have this setup kinda like point to point. to have a reasonable amount of space between the levels, how long/steep of a grade would I be needing?
