    Layout Mod

    I agree with Mike on adding some spurs. Also maybe change the locations of the turnouts for future expansion, this will allow you to use them as an additional industry or interchange track. Marty

Consist them as normal with the lead or "top" loco on the right knob then MU the helper which will be on the left knob...
