New plan better?

[Habbyguy]

So do you guys think my new plan is better than the first one? I have no problem getting at all the track.

First

New

I like it, not as busy looking as the other!
How are the grades, I recall you were going to run shorter trains so no problem?
Nice job on the yard too.

what kind of trains do you plan on running? what is the radius of the 2 tracks that are turning around?

i do like the second one better, as it was said, does not look as busy

I too like the second plan (new) better, it looks much nicer and i think would be a lot better and more fun to operate.

18" Minimum radius does kinda concern me though, but if your not going to be running large locomotives and long cars, that wont be a problem.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Rico - My max grade is 1.8%.
thomashmaine - The min radius is 18

I will post pics of my trains when I get home from work.

Made some changes. What you guys think?

You're starting to suffer from paralysis by analysis, just build it already!

Seriously they both look fine to me, the only issue was the 18" radius curves, are they bigger now?.
