Yards a black hole? No way! I think they're just about the most interesting part of the whole railroad. Also, some of you are saying how you don't have room for a yard on your layout. Not true. If you have room for even 2 tracks that are, say, each 3' long, you can have a very basic yard. My yard is 6 double-ended tracks ranging from about 3' to 9' long. Yards don't have to be huge. It depends on the traffic flow. Many shortlines get by with smaller yards (less thank 10 tracks)
