First of all thanks for all the blog traffic from MRH. Second, David K. Smith from Railwire and NZT Products has been helping me with my track plan. HO 2x14' now, Code 83, #4/5 T/outs. Tough to make it all fit. Catch all the action on the blog. You can't have your cake and eat it too on most plans, especially shelf switching layout.

Their is example for anything we do.

Louisiana & Delta runs a local out of Lafayette to the end of the old SP branch that use to go to the port of Baton Rouge. The industry at the end does not have run around. LP gas co. L & D put engine on front and one on the end reason they can make all of the moves. For the ease of operations it works better with run around.
