Over in This Thread TOC suggested that I install a loop somewhere to avoid turning trains on the Wye when I just want to sit and have trains running. My reply was the argument that I didn’t have a place to do it. Last night while running trains at dusk I noticed that Deep Cut could be used as an underpass. The light bulb lit up and I saw a loop crossing the main at deep cut, then through a diamond on one of the Wye legs then retuning to the main. It would look something like this…
Where the loop turns left, it would cross on an overpass. Where it crosses next would be a diamond. The Wye is not drawn exactly to scale, and I’m not certain I can get around some pine trees and still stay within my lot line… but there is hope I don’t see a way to work a sectional track crossing diamond into the existing Wye, so a custom made job will have to do. I’ve played with building stub switches with some success. Is a Diamond much harder (or easier) to build than a switch? JR
