Hi Ed,
Thanks for the welcome.
My original layout was sort of a switching puzzle and I did not like it
because I required too many moves to do a simple set out or pick up, so I was looking to avoid that at all costs. And yes, it is designed to be switched twice a day with trains of 3-5 cars for a total of 6-10 cars a day. I’m going to try to light the structures and create a day/night lighting valance above that layout. I’m also looking to keep it portable and to dust proof it easily. I have big plans for this layout and that's why I wanted to keep it somewhat small and manageable.
