Really? you think its better in the original? I was told that it had too many switchbacks, which im not even sure that is, and that the curved staging tracks were a nono as coupling is hard on turns...
I appreciate all the info. I just want to have a working yard that allows me to arrange cars with my locos, supports a couple industries on the back side, like in the woodsriver yard in layout tips of MRR and I want a few engine servicing buildings etc. Just something that works and looks realistic.
