True.  That's why we have to live with selective compression.

Railroad Yard Length---HO Scale
Posted by Big Boy Forever on Wednesday, May 21, 2014 7:53 PM

60 feet = 1 mile in HO.

30 feet = 1/2 mile

15 feet = 1/4 Mile

Prototype yards I've seen are 1 to 5 miles long.

HO Yard Length = Unrealistic ....(Unless you have a big room)
