Little switching layout


Recommended Posts

I would go with the original VR Yard plan. You can't go wrong with an 'inglenook' design, they are fun to operate.

 

Your plan has no sidings resulting in trains simply running around. I think that would soon become boring to operated.

You may find the biggest limitation of this layout is the head shunt at the far right size. It looks as though it will only hold a small tank type loco and nothing else which may make shunting moves somewhat limited although you might see this limitation as added interest. You might need to extend the layout so you can fit both your desired loco and longest wagon in that head shunt. As with all layouts they are personal and it always depends on what you are trying to get out of them and if you want to build the layout as you have drawn do it, have fun doing it and its the best way to learn. Sometimes trying to plan perfection leads to nothing ever being built!
