I would say that would need a few more than that. Otherwise you are going to be very limited on your shunting moves, I would add one to the entrance to the goods shed, one in the goodshed headshunt, another one along the platform for goods shunting work and one in each of the headshunts, platform and the opposite side so as to gain the very most from your shunting.

I would have to disagree with Brinkly. Your proposed locations for electromagnets should enable any combination of shunting movements using AJ's. For example, why add them to the entrance to the goods shed and its headshunt when #4 will meet the requirements in those areas.

Bit difficult to comment without the plan being more to scale (how much length is there between the loop entry and the goods yard entry turnouts?) and in the absence of knowing what moves you want to cater for, but I can't see much of a function for #3 at the moment. Presumably your goods trains will always enter the platform road?
