First HO Layout Critique

[Green_Elite_Cab]

Looks good to me, broad curves, plenty of space. I might also support the idea of the Peco switches, I don't think they take up much room despite being alittle higher in number than the #4 switches.

The Atlas # 4 and the Peco medium switch is the same length. I recently found that out in a discussion on another forum.

I've actually got both on my layout. The #4 leads into my yard and the rest of the yard tracks are peco mediums, except for the very first three directional turnout.

To be honest, I haven't had much trouble with my 50' and greater cars going through that #4. There is a another #4 on my passing siding near the yard, and I go through that one at speed and never have problems there.
