I’ve been toying with a revised plan for a small switching layout. The first plan was OK, but there were some areas that could be reworked a little to enhance the layout. The first plan looked like this;
TexasZepher came up with these as a revision;
and
I like these too, but I’m not sure they’re perfect either (By his own admission).
I was also working on a revision and here’s what I came up with;
The plan can be added on to in the upper right and on the tail of the switchback next to the yard, making it a through path instead of a switchback. The yard features a switcher pocket and there is a small repair shop next to the roundhouse. You could also use that for a scale if you wanted.
I think that maybe moving the switcher pocket to the front of the yard might help with that, but what other revisions would you make?
