Hello Cypherman, Thank You sharing the track plan. This is the whole layout as I have very limited space so there will not be any fiddle yard it’s an end-to-end layout 6X2 feet max I can go is up to 7X2 feet. Passenger traffic with 1 coach. freight traffic with 2-3 wagons. engine shed to change the locos and sidings for parking 1-2 coaches and few freight wagons. Most of my locos are electric and diesel. I kept the shuttle because I wanted bubbles cars running back and forth. Request you to please mark engine shed, refueling areas and platform etc. etc. Regards, Viken
