Turning a train...
1. One big freaking turntable.
2. Uncouple the train, switch each car and locomotive and turn on a normal sized turntable, reassemble the consist, couple, and go a couple days later.
3. A balloon track.
4. A wye with long enough legs to turn the entire train.
5. A wye with a leg too short.. repeat the procedure #2.
Reversing a train... the hard way
1. Uncouple the locomotives and turn per "turning a train", move to opposite end of train and couple.
2. Flat switch any head end or tail end cars to there respective new positions.
3. Flip any seats as needed.
Reversing a train... a little easier.
1. Plan ahead, two locomotives back to back. Simply flat switch the locomotives to the opposite end and couple.
2. Deal with flipping seats and head/tail end cars the "hard" way.
Reversing a train the easy way
1. Locomotive at one end of train and a cab car or locomotive on the other. Engineer simply changes seats.
2. Don't flip seats.
3. No head end/tail end cars.
