stocking yard... I'm wondering what you think.. Its actually one of the
original designs I made for our layout however adjusted it to size to fit the
table.
Take notice how much space this now leaves for our buildings.... :(

I look at this and say its close to a nice balance as far as Train vs. Building
space (IF) we drop the roadplates and just go with (fake) roads.. That means
the buildings can be at (Any) Angle....

I have two other less Complex layouts I will post tonight.

Okay All,
I decided to take Wayne's design this morning and run.  First, I copied
Wayne's tracks and started playing.  I think I addressed the problem with a
yard, and the buildings problem.  But, the tracks came out simple.  Have a
look:  http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=195832
I've included the TD layout so others can play if they'd like.
