That's the only thing I don't like about this layout - It's one HUGE
loop with tons of sidings. The main "problem" is the three main tracks
running the length of the main section. There could be one "loop" for
each cross-over, but that would require a reversing polarity loop at
either end of the inner run. James and I are going to be too busy to
manually switch things over every few minutes, and I haven't got the
required pieces to make two automated reversal loops with. Given
enough time and resources, I could probably make up a real slick pair
of loops with optical sensors and motorized switches that would allow
me to do this layout the way I originally envisioned it, but there's
no way I could have it ready in a month, even if I didn't have all
the other details to take care of and things to get ready.
