Reconsidering the reach....

I'm looking at the Morris section of my trackplan and preparing to build the benchwork for the Paterson Grain terminal.. It occurs to me that there is an area where I will have very poor access.

I don't expect to need regular access to this hard to reach zone, but I am wondering if I should change the benchwork to lessen the reach here.

Here is the area in question:

Sound modules

The sound modules from ITT Products are a great addition to a layout.

need coupler help

Oh great train gods, please solve my problem

Oh i have a bunch of older con-cor UP passenger cars with truck mounted hook horn couplers and i want to change them over, probably to body mount coupler boxes but new trucks could be an option. Any ideas on brands/item numbers i can use to do this.

 

thanks

Wiring for DCC reversing loop

I have posted this in another forum with no response so thought I would try here.  Below is a rough track plan already install a few years ago.  I will be starting the reversing loop at the first turnout near the top left corner by the aisle and finishing it at the turnout just above it and slightly to the left.  Yes I know there are other ways I can do this.  My question is this, when I installed the track, each piece was its own block, both ends isolated by styrene, ditto with the turnouts.

In Ops Live 1, Chapter 12: Meanwhile, back in Roseburg, several times it is mentioned that the engineer has set the couplers to the delayed uncouple position, while the train is in motion.
