Input on proposed HO switching layout

[FCIN]

Hmmm - how about doing the grain/interchange area something roughly along these lines - this is fairly close to the actual tracks (except for that extra rightmost spur), as far as I can tell from <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bing.com/maps">http://www.bing.com/maps</a><!-- m -->, maps.google.com and maps.yahoo.com:

Stein;

Been thinking along the same lines as your plan (Good Minds Think Alike or something like that). I do like the way that it looks on your drawing! You may have saved my original plan. I was wanting to try and get the interchange to be closer to the actual arrangement, but just couldn't fit it in correctly without widening the left side of the benchwork - a lot! This looks really good - thanks mucho for your input - it's why I love this forum!
