After 24 hours staring at the modified layout a severe problem becomes visible.

Six parallel tracks look like a track collection and there is no indication of the very different use of track 5 and 6. They all look the same.
I plan to fix that by
a. removing tracks 7, 10 and 13 to get space between track 6 and the industry for a street
b. put track 6 into that street (street running).
c. discontinue track 6 at the right end. It sole purpose is access to industry tracks 8 and 9 and be a lead for tracks 11 and 12.
d. I have to think about different ballast, gravel for tracks 1 -3 to break the boring collection of tracks.

ps. I am sorry to give up on track 7. It is very long and a nice interims storage. However, the new yard tracks 1 - 3 are a better solution.

Hi Reinhard

I think the old adage rings true here....."less is more", as they say.

It's a shame and also disappointing when a well contrived idea has to be shelved to the benefit of the whole picture, but I suspect it's for the best.

By the way..............love the pencil sketch approach....nice to see I'm not alone here

Best wishes,

Jonte.
