Clean up the layout room last Friday, have not work on the layout in a couple
of months. Here are photos of it's current status (not a good
photographer)
Hi Dwyane. Thanks for the photos. It's nice to see how your layout is coming together.
Just looking at the control panel diagram for Bonham I noticed a couple of additions that you might like to consider. First, you don't have a switch lead that will allow you to work the yard without fouling the main track. Second, you might add an extra siding/run-around track on the aisle side so that through trains can pass each other without entering the arrival/departure tracks.
I have a switch lead it short (+/- 6 cars) and have tested it so no worry of fouling main. My max train length is 10 cars, so doubling up on pulls is OK. Maybe future add on passing side.
