Hey Brakie, that makes sense. But what would be the reason for 2 different customers on one spur? Would it be that a customer with 2 buildings went out of business and the subsequent tenants would occupy the two different structures? Would it be reasonable to extend a spur to reach a nearby customer or a trackside customer would be located on a spur before the original customer is reached?
I'm not trying to put up an argument, just trying to understand. On my layout, I have 2 customers on one spur, but I don't have to worry about pulling one car to replace another since the customer closest to the turnout is for cement/aggregate deliveries.
Hey FCIN, I love your layout design. It looks like a fun layout to operate. If I had half the space that you do, I would still go the same route that you are. I just think that it's so funny that I just discovered inglenook layouts on Carl Arendt's website at the same time that I started noticing Lance Mindheim. Now I wish that I had the space to put up a switching layout
Another question that I have to all is that instead of putting a temporary staging track on the end, why not just put a fold up/fold down or temporary track with some scenery so that it looks like a part of the layout insttead of a piece of track hanging out in space?
