Fiddling with layout ideas

[sailormatlac]

I like the Wye ( #2).
I would think a two track staging area ?
with the Wye, there would be switching possibilities there, as well as in the industrial area.
just a thought.

A wye is indeed much fun to operate than a turntable, that's a given. You can see the loco travel much more on the layout that way.

Matt,

You should check out Trevor Marshall's blog. He's modelling a short branch line in the 1950s and has two stations with industries and a turntable in a relatively short distance. He's in S scale.

themodelrailwayshow.com/cn1950s should get you there.

I do check, trust me! I'm actually making a 4th version that is much more coherent with this one.
