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 shows how to design and build model yards to represent prototype yards in both appearance and operation.
Along with learning the history and evolution of prototype freight and passenger yards, you'll learn how to:
- Efficiently sort cars based on prototype practices
- Capture the key scenic elements of real yards
- Build yard trackwork for reliable operation
- And more!
