A New Project (yet again)

So, I finally got my PC working again,
And started work on a new project,
My question for now is,
Are my sidings and passing loops for the yard long enough?
(The loop is 150m)

Totally depends on the requirements of the industries and (as a result?) maximum consist length along that line.
 
I use two factors:

1) Era being modeled.
Trains today are a lot longer than before even with the same number of wagons carried in the old days due to our longer wagons.

2) Worst case scenario.
What's the longest train you're ever going to put on the line?
Is it a switching line with lots of industries?
Is it a line with few industries, but busy mainline?

The longest, and track speed too, will determine the spacing of your signals overall and not just on passing loops (sidings as we call them up here).
