Hi All
Thanks to all of those commented on my original plan. I have managed to set my minimum radius to 30" and have more found more floor space. I still have a peninsula that is a mountianous area that traverses between the levels but it looks to be easier for operators to follow their trains. The helix also got a little bigger. I moved Fardel Yard to make room for steam and diesel facilities on either end. Fardel now has a 90 degree curve in ( almost ) the middle and curved switches in the ladder tracks to keep things shorter. Note that there are still things to be done. I have not done the elevations; Wayfair passenger terminal needs work and the steam and diesel servicing facilities do not have tracks. Also, there are no sidings on the main yet.
