I used to be indecisive, but, now I'm not so sure !
Procrastination is definitely my forte

You can
solve this easily with a pair of small engines - one
to get behind a car and pull it out from behind the
other engine as done on the "Crooked Creek" railroad
published in MR. I've been using a pair of engines
facing opposite directions and a short connector
between 2 yards. A train comes in, the engine goes
over to the other yard and it's facing the right
direction for the next outbound train. I call this,
"the Poor Man's Turntable", so much easier than the
wye, turntable or reverse loop which I've also used.
This site doesn't allow a pdf attachment (too bad),
but if you email me I'll send you the Crooked Creek
railroad track plan if you can't find it in MR.
msarazin @ comcast.net Also I may start a list for
this site of all the small published plans that I
have -- been in trains since 1936.

OK. Made my first attempt to adapt the Gumstump
and Snowshoe into my 4x4 L shape. A jpg of the
plan is posted in the Photos section of the web
site.
Some notes: The grid lines are 6 inches apart. All
the sidings will take at least one 40 foot car and
a switcher. Grade on the hill is 3 to 4 %. Minimum
radius is 15 inch.
What I don't like is the lack of a runaround. I
just couldn't figure out a way to fit one in.
