One of my ideas was to have a fiddle yard within a looped express line. But the back half of the express line would be hidden, so the main focus is on the yard.
i would like to run express trains of up to 6 coaches, maybe 7. Then another in the opposite direction of either another express or a stopping passenger service of 4 coaches. Then sometimes, mixing it up with express freight max of 12 wagons and then mixed freight.
Yes i would like to have the possibility to have live main lines whilst having a shunt in the yard. However, if its not possible then, I don't mind either having a fiddle yard or a scenic express layout.
Don't worry, the more questions asked will help to gauge an idea of what's possible and what's not.
