Southern Pacific Switching Layout
Agreed, Brakie ... but you are not 16 and just getting started! As a youngun' he has much to learn and do over the next fifty years, but the best learning, especially at the beginning, is by doing, learning what works and what doesn't and then doing over!

Ask Green Elite Cab if that is not TRUTH. He' still young, still learning from redoing his first layout, and still redoing parts of it. But he has learned a lot of lessons.

When you get to be "our age," Brakie, we've made mistakes and we've rethought things and we realize that "this" layout will, in all likelyhood, be our last and we want it to be as "right" as possible right out of the box, so that we can ejoy operating it. A few changes on later will be acceptable, but we've already learned a lot of the "this is not gonna work" situations and we've designed around them.

Justin's still gotta learn ... and Gary S. will tell you that self-discovered principles stick with you better than spoon-fed ones do!
