Again, a really well presented and valuable video. Thanks for everything you've included here.

[@DubaiTrains]

Thanks again, much like your channel, I'm just trying to contribute to the community. Good to hear you enjoyed it.

[@A_person473]

Thank you for helping me get ideas for my yards and stations. These video's are a really good help.

[@DubaiTrains]

Your welcome!

[@40hitter]

This was so informative as someone looking to plan my first layout. Will definitely be watching it multiple times ❤

[@DubaiTrains]

Thanks.

[@RichyArtist]

Great video, the client must be very excited to have this all drawn out for him in such a way. The video also explains really well why certain choices were made. Especially the turnout count show what is and is not useful in certain scenarios. I cannot wait for the next installment! Have a great weekend :D

[@stevetee5076]

I agree with your assessment.

[@DubaiTrains]

Hi Richy, good to hear my videos are understood well. I really enjoy making track plans so I guess you see that in the design itself. Please note this was a layout design consultancy job. One of the services I provide.

[@ErzgebirgsMoBaHO]

good idea, I liked it. Greetings Tino

[@DubaiTrains]

Thanks Tino.

Coming out of the yard to the right, it appears that that a train crosses the inside main to get to the outside main. But it has to be a fully switchable crossing, (4 turnouts in one?) to allow all movements in both directions, yes?

[@DubaiTrains]

Yes correct. All the directions are needed. With all the required connections on that side of the yard these english turnouts are just a massive convenience and space saver.

[@Conrail-gc6yq]

What size switches and curve radius is shown?

[@DubaiTrains]

Hi Conrail. All the normal R en L turnouts are the Marklin 'long turnout' varient. These correspond roughly to turnout #5. The curved turnouts and wye's are peco. The client will convert these to 3 rail.
I will elaborate more on this topic in the next video.
