It's done. We've got a street running track in the south industry district
It is not perfect but much better than the street running track in the north yard I made last year. Street markers etc. will be added when the intersections are build.

Russ, I try to stay away from all "unusual" where ever possible. The dramatic space problems enforce so much curiosity it could be very easy over done. e.g. look at the distance of the new street to the next main track. It would be perilous to drive at the track side of the street... The 3-way turnout and the single ended classification tracks are already a very free interpretation of the A-yard.




Next step is to get some ballast on the yard. We will see how the 3-way turnout performs after ballast and white glue torture. The electric connection of the switches/blades not very convincing. I did solder jumpers as I did it with the Atlas turnouts.

ps. You might smile but I did not have one single day I had to stop all operation during the rework. I like to play and build in parallel.
