I have most of the track work done but am working on the last area. The switchyard. Before anyone comments, I know I should have at least 2 access points but that is not possible. This switchyard requires backing from the main line but doable for 1 train at a time.
Anyway, my switchyard is about 60 inches long, not nearly long enough. On the other side of the wall is a loft storage area which I can easily create an opening through the wall to create at least 48 more inches of length of my switchyard. The wall cannot be removed as it is a supporting knee wall but I can reframe in this area to create the small opening for the tracks.
I am hoping to get suggestions of how to make this look like part of the layout. This is a family room and the boss made me promise it will look nice. Any suggestions? I was leaning toward a fake car tressle but I welcome other ideas.
