Hi, first time poster. I'm new to railroading although I did play around with an HO 4x8 about 30 years ago when I was a kid. You know, thumb-tack track sections straight to a sheet of plywood and the run the trains as fast as possible. Now I want to build a 2' x 4' Z layout that I will not get bored with. Here is what I came up with. It has a yard, switching and 3 main lines. I want to elevate some of the curves on the left so I can have a trestle and tunnels. Does the yard look like it would be functional? Not sure if it has all the necessary tracks as defined in an article I read called the 10 Commandments of railroad yard design. I seams the layout has a lot of left had turnouts. Should some of them be right handed so trains running both directions can switch tracks more easily? I have not started on this yet and want to make sure I will be happy with the design before I start. Comments appreciated.
Thanks
