I'm posting this also in the main trains group in case someone has
indeed cut the edge off some switches or found a way to make a
switching yard close together like this. I'm going to try an interleaved
yard to get the tracks the way I want - I'll post a shot of the results.

ie. A dozen grey baseplates long. (Yes, that is a fifteen foot mountain.)
Of course it doesn't _have_ to be that long - how long can you make it?
Re: The switching yard. I tried making it this way last night with the
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=26033 physical track
segments, and it won't really work without cutting about one stud off
the corner. Also, the switch handle might catch on a low hanging part
of a train car. <sigh> These points go twice as far as they "should".

The bottom line can be run through as the "show loop", but the trains would be going through the curved part of switches, and we all know how much (...)
