Switch Diagrams

[ATShinkansen]

I've been drawing up diagrams to go with each group of turnout throws as they will be placed around the layout.  I wanted to post them here, not just to share, but also to ask for feedback, as I want them to have a somewhat professional appearance (don’t be afraid to be nitpicky!).  All text is hiragana and kanji as well as English, as it’s also a language exercise.  I was careful to pick Helvetica font, as I think I saw somewhere on the forum about it being the standard font used in stations.  Red boxes indicate groups of turnouts controlled by a single lever.

 

 

 

I have one more to create for the freight yard that I haven’t even begun to figure out the track plan.
