Input on a "Temporary" Shelf Track Plan

[steinjr]

Shortliner, is the right "crossover" in your plan a crossover or a slip switch (I'm assuming the left crossover is just that - a crossover)?

Both are plain crossovers. Left one is a short crossover, right one a long crossover.

That track that curve down and come back across the main track is an elegant construction that really says "tight corners".

Btw - since you have 8 feet of space, and Jack's plan is 6.5 feet, add another foot on the left and another half a foot on the right.

Gives you a little room to move a few cars at a time through the choke point of the plan - the main to the left of the turnouts.
