G'day Galen & All,
Thank you for the complement. Yes ,the track plan is based loosely on the Inglenook shunting puzzle, but even without knowing about the venerable Inglenook I would still have come to the same arrangement eventually, given the prototypes in Kearney New Jersey and Cincinnati. The classic Inglenook is two sidings of 3 car capacity and a `main' of 5 car capacity. From the warehouse siding to the front siding the capacity is 3, 4, 5. The head-shunt is one switcher plus 3 freight cars.
Regards,
Andrew G.
