Wayne, the way things are going it is hard to tell, although maybe we can put you in a container and ship you by rail. 
Bob, you have my idea exactly. It is pretty much a double track loop for mainline, with the opportunity to run a local or two, and the crossovers are not shown as a rule because I couldn't figure out how to put them in the drawing, but I want the ability to hold one train while I run a hot shot past a local, I remember when we had 4 tracks here in town because it was a stop for the passenger trains. There was also a mile long siding connected at both ends that was used to switch the potteries, so that is the time and operating frame I'm after. Most construction will be open frame and I'm toying with a scenic railroad that operates on switchbacks and has two customers for freight revenue...we will see about that :mrgreen:
