That is nice Stein, thanks!! 
It's a tempting design.
I drove down Shamrock over the weekend to see what It'd be like on a layout. LeeCo receives plate steel on bulkhead flats. They had 1 on spot, the only spot, and one out on the runaround on the main. I could tell by the load they were for the same business. I doubt they receive much traffic, so the spot will be empty more often than not, so if you have to pull a car off to get to the scrap yard, it's not a big deal and adds a few minutes of work. Sheilds doesn't have rail service, but it's not a bad idea to change that.
I could do N and like I said I have track turnouts, cars and an a GP38 ready to go, I just am seeing some impracticality in doing some real switching. It's just too small to fiddle with uncoupling and whatnot. Sound would be a bonus in either scale, it's just the size of N would be the drawback. I only have the 11 feet and really in either scale, I won't be able to have all I'd like to have. Givens and Druthers, I suppose.
