didn't work too much on the layout recently. seems like summer finally found my little corner of the world. so i focused on a few projects in my garden.
i still managed to rework the north entry of the yard. had to add a new track for the passenger loop-back. therefore i had to add a swingover from main-1 to pax track. now i just need to figure out a smart way to access the pax track from the main yard. unfortunately main-1 and main-1b will be between them.
tracks from left to right : - pax loop-back/via yard entry - pay loop-back/via yard exit - main-1 - main yard entry
the turnout connecting the two pax-loop tracks has to be automated so it switches as soon as a train enters it from the "wrong" track. i'm currently talking to tamvalley to have them build a modified version of their frog juicers.
