2 6x1 foot ISLs

Allegheny, Please play with it.

I'm not familiar with Atlas snap track, but it might be possible to save a few inches here and there by shortening the ends of the turnouts. Not that I'm saying using such track is wrong, if you've got some in stock it is then possible to test the final plan for real before making it permanent, as what might work for someone else (on their layout or even the "prototype for everything") won't necessarily be as successful with your stock.

Peco would definitely allow you to add more track or make the plan even shorter.

I'm posting 2 6x1 foot ISLs made with Atlas Code 83 Snap Switches and Track. I drew my inspiration from Jim Stanford's Dolton Industry Park http://www.jimsmodeltrains.ws/index.php and Jack Trollope's Ness Street Yard http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/55422-new-switching-layout/page-2:

 

 

 

The first plan would require the use of 2 locomotives to shuffle the cars while the second plan uses 2 Peco Double Slip switches to make it happen.

 

Hi all.

 

Just so you are aware, the page in the URL for jimsmodeltrains.ws is now at: http://www.jimsmodeltrains.ws/dolton-industry-park/dolton-layout-operation-environs/

I upgraded the website to use Wordpress some time ago and so the URLs had changed.

I've seen it Jim. Thank you, it's a great website. I actually got onto Dolton Industry Park via YouTube.
