I think the original question has not yet been answered. Briefly, staging tracks (one track or a whole yard) are really a representation of "the rest of the world", not just a place to store trains. <br />The whole idea is that staging areas represent destinations beyond the modelled portion of the layout. They are a very useful addition to any layout on which prototypical operation is intended. <br />Have a look at John Armstrong's book "Track Planning for Realistic Operation" or Bruce Chubb's "How to Operate Your Model Railroad" to get some additional information. There have also been many articles in MR and RMC about using staging for operation.
