Hi, <br /> <br />I am building a module that is about 6 feet by 3 feet more or less. I plan to have a main line (Ok, a place for a train to run thru) down the length of the area. I have settled the specific number of cars to serve the module. (About 36) There will be a dedicated switcher working this module. <br /> <br />If my first train comes in with 6 box cars to be loaded and I put it on the single passing siding for the switcher to put away into the shipping area, what will I do to accomodate the follow on trains from staging which vary in length from 4 to 10 cars? <br /> <br />Is the solution more passing sidings? Or should I build a stub yard big enough for 36 cars? <br /> <br />I dont have a plan to post here but I hope to hear your theories. <br /> <br />Thank you for your time <br /> <br />Lee
