Good point Russ. I thought of another idea as well, I could put a crossover in at the end of the yard and make a short little removable extension that could be added when needed the top 2 tracks in the yard to allow the 2 locomotives to get all the way through the crossing, which would also save me some extra room in the yard for a couple more cars per track. Will add the crossovers in and then post a pic
Larry and Kurt, thank you guys. Im hoping to get another job in the next couple weeks, so hopefully ill be able to jump into this pretty quick here. I have one module I can start working on now, and im planning to start with the yard module, so all I need to do is start laying the Central Valley Tie Strips and then glue in the ME rail and ill officially be started with the project. But before that, I need to modify the module to allow for locking pins when joining the modules together and also add some foldaway legs to the bottom
