G-Scale Freight Yard

This is my first G-Scale project, a 4' X 32' freight yard. There is more than 200' of track, 16 wide radius turnouts, and 2 #6 Turnouts. All track is Aristo .332 American Brass. The ballast is 1/4" stone, with screenings added to bind the stone. None of the track is nailed or screwed to the board, I have track power with an Aristo 10 amp power supply controlled by a hand held throttle, and I run battery powered equipment myself. This yard will allow me to store up to 150 cars, provides a long passing siding for connecting what will be two separate loops, as well as a yard shunt that will allow freight trains to pull off to allow for passenger traffic. I hope to start the construction of one of the loops shortly, and I will keep you informed as to the progress. Comments are appreciated.
