Fixing the staging yard

Hey all,

Those of you who have been following the Carstenbahn One adventure know that my only regret in the track plan is the short length of the siding in the staging yard / shadow station.  Well, after some fumbling around with track I was able to remedy the situation.
Here you can see how I moved the switch from the end of the curve to the beginning, adding a couple of feet to the overall length of the siding.  Because of space constraints I'm not able to do the same thing on the other side, but at least I have increased the useable length of trains parked in the siding from 7 cars to 11 cars.

Finally, here's a quick snapshot of the two steam locomotives ready to head out...
Enjoy your weekend, all!
