My thoughts are that a train leaving the Station area has no way to reverce to get back short of stopping then a run-round of the loco to get to the other end of the train. Layout and size of garden always likely to be a restricting factor but could one of the reverse loops be revised?Now got most of the track & buildings, but open to any suggestions on design. Trains will all be RC/ battery. The points will be on servos & lighting via relays all via wi-fi. Thanks.

Looks like your drawing was done using Hornby Railmaster! Just FYI I have in the past run my (indoor DCC) G scale layout with Railmaster. The 4 amp limit doesn't affect me.Now got most of the track & buildings, but open to any suggestions on design. Trains will all be RC/ battery.

Oh missed the oak, yes they also loose a lot of sap. Though he is dead rail not sure how much worry he needs to take re the sap. Fortunately not much got onto my line in Hemel as the oaks were 40-50 feet away, but oh yes the leaves.Having had a large oak in my garden, the track running around them will need a lot of cleaning, even for dead rail. My oak regularly dropped small twigs, lots of them, which are not small to a model loco.
As mentioned earlier, it is hard to understand what your modus operandi is, there seems to be some tail chasing, but also end to end, a brief explanation may assist us in giving advice.
I laugh about the leaves as last year i got at least 10 bin full's fall on the garden & kept thinking, i must clear it up. It got left till January & we had horrendous winds over a couple of days & it cleared the lot to some ware. So i will leave it again this year.Oh missed the oak, yes they also loose a lot of sap.

Get a leaf blower - hours of fun blasting leaves into piles and then “rolling” the piles into bigger ones. Great sense of satisfaction in seeing a nice leaf-free lawn if only for a day or so!I laugh about the leaves as last year i got at least 10 bin full's fall on the garden & kept thinking, i must clear it up.

Collectors,
What software are you using there?
I have a very cheap black & decker leaf hoover that works great, & also mulches it up into small pieces. But i do have a 14mm gravel drive & it will suck up a few of stones. Now my track bed i am looking at 8-10mm & i think my hoover will eat these. Mabey a blower is on my shopping list.Get a leaf blower - hours of fun blasting leaves into piles and then “rolling” the piles into bigger ones.

The trains are all RC battery & the Wi-Fi switching is ewelink & works fine in my house & have just put another router in the garage for the railway for a good signal around the garden. All of the switching on ewelink units can be pulse or on/off which is great for points or lighting.Collectors,
