Yards are the heart of prototype railroads, where inbound trains are broken up, cars are sorted, outbound trains are assembled, and locomotives and cars are maintained.
In Designing & Operating Yards, Dave Abeles explains why prototype railroad yards exist and how they function, and he shows how to design and build railroad yards for a layout to represent prototype yards in both appearance and operation.
Along with learning the history, evolution, purpose, and operation of prototype freight and passenger yards, you'll learn how to:
- Efficiently sort cars based on prototype practices
- Design a model yard to effectively handle trains, cars, and traffic
- Capture the key scenic elements of real yards
- Build yard trackwork for reliable operation
- And more!
