The British use of the term 'fiddle yard' is not unique to a yard for physically handling a train. A fiddle yard may also be a yard that holds ready made trains available to depart on the track they sit on. The fiddle yard may have access from only one end or both depending on the layout design. <br />The main demand of a British fiddle yard is that it is 'off-scene' <br /> <br />The German term for a 'fiddle yard' or 'staging yard' is Schattenbahnhof, which literally means 'hiding station' which I think is more appropriate.
