Here is my track plan with 2 stations. 1 big station and a smaller one with a shoulder line. Any suggestion, idea is welcomed.

Hi Akos,

I'm sorry that you have not received any comments on your track plan so far.That's a shame, as it's pretty good in my opinion.

The diagonally placed station makes it look a bit more natural. The fiddle yard has plenty of length. The small station in the center gives you plenty of opportunity for some nice scenery.

Still a few comments:
-Are you sure you can reach all parts of the layout easily? The track in the central area seems out of reach to me.
-I would maybe hide a bit more of the track in the back, and add some hidden staging there. The crossover would then move either to the left or the right.
-I would let the track leading to the small station gain a bit of height for some extra excitement in the plan. That way you might be able to hide the 'ugly' 180 degree turn in the double track at the left.

I hope you find these comments useful.

David.

For your convenience I attached a picture of the plan.

Akos,

I'm guessing that the bent track at the top of the yard is meant for either an industry or engine service, but consider leading it back into the maniline. This gives your yard crew a short yard lead to work with, which will make the mainline engineers a lot happier than having to dodge freight operations while trying to keep a schedule!  Cheesy
