As I alluded to in my previous post, I've also been able to get the connecting section built, and began laying out what will become the primary yard for the layout. Trains will arrive here from staging. A switcher will break the train down, and set up the locals originating out of the yard, both east to the peninsula, and west to Dragon Cement. Because of the peninsula, I was limited for space. There is approximately four feet between the peninsula and the adjacent wall. Therefore, I opted to make the yard section about a foot in width. This is sufficient space for four tracks, which should be adequate in size. Train sizes will not be large, and there will be enough space for multiple trains to sit in the yard as well as any overflow.
Looking Railroad East, with the peninsula on the left.
Now looking Railroad West, as the yard begins to form.
