HO yard in 2X8

This small yard came from a custom project, but actually fits in roughly a 2X8 space in HO if you have track on either side to complete the runaround. The turntable is PECO's roughly 1-foot-wide version and turnouts are mostly PECO C75 Mediums with one short in the engine service area. Minimum radius in the yard is 24 inches; 20 inches in the engine terminal. The water tank is from walthers, the compact coaling tower from JV models, the ashpit is scratchbuilt, the enginehouse was the client's existing scratchbuilt model, but many commercial models will fit. The station is an AMB Type 23 SP station with a modified freight platform/dock.
