Entry 5
Selkirk & Pacific Ry>
I usually prefer some capability to run continuously, but I figure this limits creativity to some extent. You have to cram a closed loop into it. So, I thought I would take the approach that this would become part of a greater whole in time, hence the central interchange and the terminal outer curve. The track plan requires extensive running to get from the inner through main (name the railroad) to the outer route ending at the yard and servicing. I am a fan of the double-slip switch, so I shoehorned two of them into the yard. The last two facing point turnouts are only facing point to allow a reversing engine to escape past its drag into the butt-end tracks on the ladder. It could always run behind and clean up the positioning with a shove if the consist were long enough.
