Turntables in real life are costly. Reverse loops and or Balloon Tracks take up vast Real estate even in the hobby. If you run Passenger Equipment. The Balloon is more realistic for turn a Passenger train, in my opinion. If you have the room you can set up your P Term with a hidden run thru and hidden Balloon track that is unseen. In Butte Montana a large Wye was used at the P Depot. West Bound train would pull west of the north leg and the back in, and and East Bound would pull east of the Wye and back in. A cool idea, but Real Estate intensive. Witch ever way you go good building and running.
