I was thinking about the 4x8 in our local store which does not have a yard but a single track interchage with room for about 5 cars that comes and goes to the real world. We staged inbound freight cars on that before dealing with each of the industries on the layout <br /> <br />The layout was built using a plan as a basis on the book that we are talking about. <br /> <br />I offer the thinking that staging always improves any layout's operation, the problem is finding the room for the extra track.
