I read all of the above discussion with great interest. Reinhard makes some interesting and valid points. Makes me think that faced with the current track arrangement in that corner of his layout, the pair of GenSets would have to switch one car at a time into that siding to be unloaded.
After thinking about it, I'm glad I initially picked 1935 and steam and have stuck with it all these years! 8-)
I have been considering a 10' or 12' ISL along one wall in my bedroom, with a mid-'70's time frame (gotta have a place to run my OMI Reading GP39-2 ... and my daughter's Athearn Blue Box Conrail GP38-2 that she and I painted, decaled, detailed and weathered using photos we took of the one we used to visit in the small transfer yard in Lansdale, PA when we lived there!)
But seriously, faced with an existing track arrangement and no opportunity to "tear it all up and build a new layout," What Would the Prototype Do? (WWPD?)
