Southern Pacific Switching Layout

[Justinmiller171]

As it is, there is not enough room below the turnout along the right wall for switching cars between the mainline and the industry park, so the mainline along the right wall is purely cosmetic - and has no utility.

This was on purpose, I was going to use the main as part of the staging, I would store unused cars on the main disguised as a stopped train, I am not sure if that Idea will work or not, but if it doesn't I will take your suggestion and give a couple of feet behind the switch.

I agree with Stern on the placement of the switch, other then that it looks like a great little plan that needs to be built this weekend...
Even if you just build it on 2" pink foam and attach it to wood later you would have something to get you started.

I already have all of the track, and I will be getting the wood for the staging area on Thursday so I could quite possibly get started this weekend!

On another note...what program are you using for your track drawings???

For this plan I used AnyRail, my previous track-plans were done using XTrkcad.
