I suggested something similar, move the roundhouse/turntable to the lower loop on the right away from shipping area. There would be a lot easier access to it and easier to operate.

And the mess as of today….way too many DC engines…..many were gifts though so no cost to me.
Yes, that is what I was always told as well, it might be the reversing section he is talking about.

Are you able to do a paint quick pick of your idea?

Sorry for the yellow track - under my minimum radius so xtrack makes it yellow. You can connect the 4 track yard/storage just after the switch in the upper right of the pix.

Interesting, does it tell you what those radius are for the 3 sides?

Good point, have to watch the leafs tonight and having lobster right now, but you are right that is two redundant switches at the bottom.

I just did that for you to see. Deleted the original after I did a screen capture. Think that the yellow is 23.5"r. Others are larger.
As a note, might be time for you to get to know software track planners - there are a bunch of them. I happen to use XtrackCad and have for many years, so Ima used to it; free also. Makes it bunches easier fitting stuff at proper radii and then if ( OMG ) you have to change something, not a complete redraw; mostly cut, move and reconnect.

Yes learning anyrail right now and sometimes I get frustrated on how to make those changes like you mention.

The auto current reverse.
I keep a couple different locomotives on sidings, will use the one pointing the correct way. Same with caboose. Maybe manually change direction once per month or so. I do have a smaller layout, usually do not pull more than 5 cars. 11' x 12'.

hang in there Gary - if I can do it, you can too. Play around with the program and learn it's quirks. I like anyrail. Oh, there's a few things I'd like better but works nice bringing in the track items from manufacturers and whatnot.

I've had Anyrail for years! It's great for Lionel Fastrack and I have used it a little for Bachmann EZ track, both HO and N.
My problem is I forget some things I learned in between uses.
That is nice! It's always an enjoyable day when you get a new locomotive, congratulations!
