Has everything you need, except maybe adequate tail track length on the runaround track? On my switching layout, which does have a yard, whenever...
Sorry to harp on this, but in your layout, every track requires traversing 4 turnouts, and a simple ladder would reduce that to 2 each per route,...

Well, it would be a nice idea, but I see it as a way for some smaller company to jump start their N scale presence. I could be wrong, as Atlas did...
Not that I needed it (do we ever?) but with Atlas running the close out sale on their insiders club, I picked up their IHB coil car. Last layout...
