Need some opinions-UPDATED

The problem with B is that spotting cars at the cement plant still blocks cars going to the mine because it creates a short switchback tail.

That's why I suggested reversing the crossover, that totally eliminates any conflict between the cement plant (or ink factory for that matter) and makes switching much easier.

Waaaay more work than I want to put into it, to reverse the crossover, reballast, etc. I'm not that prototypically serious enough to worry about it. One small 1st gen, 4 axle, engine and an ore car will easily fit once the ink factory is removed.

Before and after .......

I still need to add a few details and touch up a few areas, but it came out pretty nice for a 2 day project.
