Based on feedback from LKandO, and my own dissatisfaction with the original design (especially the proximity of the yard throat to the mountain at the bottom-right), I've completely reworked the arrangement of the yard. Compare to plan in previous blog post. Key changes:
- turntable moved from end of yard to entrance of yard.
- horseshoe curve no longer contain storage tracks, just two approach tracks (30", 27") and a switching lead (24")
- found room to put back in the car float (apron at least, float would be removable off-layout) I had originally conceived in a much-earlier design
- quite importantly, design is now based on actual measurements of the space with backdrop and benchwork in place (previously was just rough dimesions, not counting the 6"+ lost to backdrop etc).
Feedback on the new design is very welcome.
