I may just add a small wing to the table rather than cut down the length of the loop. The brewery will deal with two-car or three-car sets on average. What would you change for Version 2.0?
Sounds like a lot more work than simply swapping out four straight track parts with shorter ones... Nothing much other than making sure there is space between the track and the layout edge all the way around!
Ya, that will work. Don't forget to include: Happy Beagle Brew Pub Happy Beagle excursion train which you can stage on the bottom left. It can be run while switching the brewery. I agree the track is dangerously close to the edge. There is no room for, oooops. Have fun and let us know of your progress.
I like the idea of a pub in town. Need a place to sell the product! A brew train is amusing. Any good B-B diesels out there? It seems impossible to find an MP15 or another similar switcher out there in a Conrail or industrial livery

My Google-fu is weak. Funny I didn't come across 'em on woo woo woo. Although I did spy Atlas is working on an EMD SW1500 that looks pretty cool too. Decisions, decisions.
