I don't really see enough difference between them to judge. It looks like scenic treatment will be the beneficiary of any differences. Operationally they are the same. One thing I would consider is to lengthen the two tail tracks to accomodate a loco and one car. It would be great if you could hang a temporary cassette on one end of the main line to easily add or remove stock for variety, or even a folding spur as a fiddle track.

However I' have run into a roadblock. Since I have not decided on terrain, and would prefer something that isn't flat. Track will be handlaid I considered using homasote for a layout base, but I am not certain if it will be strong enough. I have considered spline roadbed from homasote, but am not sure with the large number of turnouts involved (8) if this would be feasible. Another possibility would be a cookie cutter type roadbed made from homasote. To keep cost down I am trying to do without subroadbed. Another question is roadbed width? Finally I would appreciate it if judgment was passed on the 3 variation of the layout. http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad248/jfrydom/SwitchingLayoutvariation3.jpg http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad248/jfrydom/SwitchingLayoutvariation2.jpg http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad248/jfrydom/SwitchingLayoutvariation1.jpg Also I think I've caught a di"S"ea"S"e I'm starting to put quotation marks around the letter "S".
