another concept plan

[Wiredup]

Heres the mod with Trainnuts advice.

I like it, the yard is more useable, but is still poorly designed.




I just see operational issues with this yard....

My average train will take up 4 of those longer sectional pieces (Kato's 248mm straight) without power. That's only 4 passenger cars. And so far, this yard would not be very accommodating of this train... if you were turning the train using the wye in the yard anyways... So I've decided I just have no idea how to design a good yard. The largest loco I have (Challenger) will take up 1 of those 248mm straight sections

However, this new yard does allow me for a much larger roundhouse. which will make a few of you bang your heads... but at the same time it will allow me to display my motive power and give me some more fun. And hey... it fits!


So far this is my favorite design... I just wish I could get the yard into something I could be happy with....


I also put a reverse track in up at the north. The part of the track that's covered by the pale brown line means that it's traveling through a tunnel.
