Designing Model Railroad Yards. By John Armstrong 47
One of MR's top track-planning experts shows you how to design model yards that have all the basic tracks needed for prototypical operation, yet are still practical in size. All the tricks of track-planning are here - "selective compression," what size turnouts to use, how many tracks you can fit in a given space, compound ladders (to name a few) - and every one of them will help you build a better model railroad.
