Yards are not for storage, but the movement of freight. Cars in a yard make no revenue. If you need car storage, then build a hidden staging yard for excess cars. Can you have to many cars, and power. Yes, but also no. Depends on your industries on line. There is a device out there call a Train-avator or something like that. It goes up and down along a wall to store cars or complete trains. Good luck and have fun.

In other words, whatever works for you, and whatever looks good to YOUR eyes. Balance? Sure. Realistic? For the most part. But have FUN! For example, I have a beautiful, tranquil lakeside setting with people swimming, barbequeing, and tanning on the floating dock – but blending in a large clump of trees is a…dinosaur! Hard to see, but it’s there. I have a building on fire, people getting rescued, etc., and on the roof is a large “Jesus Saves” sign. If you like alot of engines – use them. If you like to see long sets of cars, do that. Don’t get too caught up in the technical aspects.
