It's been awhile but I'm back tinkering with the yard and the surroundings. I've been a bit distracted with some other projects and an illness but I've finally got some time to look at the layout again.
I believe I have figured out the final configuration of the yard and industrial area
I didn't like where I had moved the run-around track to so I moved it back to the yard but added a stub to each yard track. I also added the curve to the track going to the waterfront/warehouse.
My plan is to use Atlas code 83 turnouts thoughout the yard and flextrack for the 's' curved piece. The 's' curve will allow me to back the turnout on the other end up a bit so that I can get a bit more trackage beside the warehouse. The track going away from the warehouse will be going to:
This is a kit I've had for about a year and always wanted to place it on the new layout.
Anyhow. The rest of the plan is the rest of the yard and industrial tracks will be handlaid in code 83 for some variation. I hand-laid Meadow's yard and I liked how it turned out.
