Deerfield Beach, FL

Thanks Larry,

When designing the track plan for Deerfield Beach I decided I didn't want a timesaver switching puzzle. Also, many small ISL plans seem to have too many turnouts crammed in, resulting in a
layout that looks overcrowded and unrealistic.

Although I've doubled the turnout count from 3 (Palmetto Spur) to 6, I think the new plan still looks quite spacious. The run-around is quite generous and can take 3 large plastic pellet hoppers.

I'd enjoyed operating Palmetto Spur as prototypically as possible and wanted the new layout to be similar. I'll probably block the train with loco leading/Transflo/Publix/Sun Sentinel.

In this imaginary Deerfield Beach , we assume that the loco has left the rest of it's consist further along the line in a passing siding, to which it will return after switching the 3 industries and then return to Ft Lauderdale, FL, long hood leading, as shown in the pic above.
