Has anyone ever attempted to duplicate CSX’s Selkirk yard in New York. I want to make one with idea of the west end recieving yard merging with the east end in a “U” shape around the outside edges, and as include a loop track and service tracks. I doubt I will be able to pull off the hump though. Any sugesstions?
