Thanks all for the information, theres certainly alot of information to digest. I plan on modelling an extensive yard in HO, so I want to know how it functions first, I just have to wrestle with some of the RR terms such as blocked out etc. As cars are humped to there respective tracks, are they left there or are they switched to a departure track. When humping an inbound, how many different tracks would you expect to set. ie. how many cards in the deck. I realize it would vary, but expecting to see each consist having blocks , I would assume being organized it may have less than I realize. Would the hump master know what he is to receive the day before so he could set the amount of tracks to set on any given day for an outbound. Also if there is a block, for a destination say Chicago, from Toronto and there are only 25 cars, would he know if there are more coming a couple of days from now and hold it, or does it go on its way with a block set to another destination. Cheers, Richard
