As laid out looks like lumber cars would need to be moved out of the way to work the coal dump. The switchback can be avoided by having the dump spur come off end of siding & cross the lumber yard spur at grade. Think it won't take long for your nephew to get very tired of the extra moves just like on the real RRs. Also what is the "viaduct" on the yard & interchange tracks? Seems like it would be better placed on the siding crossing a stream into the pond.
The viaduct area is there for two reasons. To start, this is a low viaduct...I envision a bit of a gully or washout here. Maybe sculpt in a runoff area during hard rains etc. The nephew thought a stone viaduct structure was cool and he wanted it included so this is what I came up with. It will only be 3-4 scale feet high. The structures in my drawing are not to scale. Oh, and the lumber yard...well, it is more of a lumber yard than a lumber mill. I basically wanted a building supply type lumber yard here and again not to scale in the drawing. Thanks for the feedback though. I always welcome suggestions.
