[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by GearDrivenSteam I did a little research on it and found out what it is. It's a bunch of fakery made so that your layout appears larger than it is. That does make it much more realistic. I'll figure out somewhere to put one. But honestly, I'm probably only going to run three or four locomotives. Do yall really think I need one? [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by roadrat Staging is like a yard only hidden, it's a place for trains to goto and come from. some one else may have a better description, but thats kinda the gist of it. bill [/quote] [/quote] Gear I think in the long run, once you have some more time running trains and doing some light switching, you may want to move into more operations down the road. This way with staging you can have a train appear from a distant place, and have the other train leave to points outside the layout. Many will create timetables, or create situations that require some "operations" type activities. I run mine with a purpose in mind, trains come from the east and west to drop cars for the town I model, I also have coal trains come in to deliver coal and then take the unit train back. I think you will find the staging usefull in the future.
