Freight yard scale

Hi, <br /> <br />He is correct, unless you scale your yard back some. Ed (Cablebridge) and I have been working on a layout design that implemented a humpyard. We finally came up with a curved hump design to minimize space. With an 80 foot long layout, it still is not enough to actually model all of the yard, but we scaled it back enough to make it realistic. <br /> <br />Bailey Yard would be nearly impossible, unless you used the model for a club layout or a layout that would take up rooms of space. Bailey has 2 hump yards and 2 classification yards. Bailey also has monstrous auxiliary service yards. Bailey would take a warehouse to build correctly. <br /> <br />If you are really stuck on yard design, ask Ed (Cablebridge) and see if he can point you in the right direction. However, Ed is a busy guy with a family, so please be conscious to that. <br /> <br />Good Luck! <br /> <br />-Wolv33
