A couple years ago now, Trains did a two part article on Yard design and operation. I am in the process of designing a large intermodal facility for my basement N scale layout, but I have no REAL idea how the hell these facilities operate and it's driving me NUTS! Does anyone have a blueprint or drawing or knowledge if there has been good illustrations of a facility layout? I have Kalmbach's book about Intermodal Facilities and equipment, but it does not describe the facility operation or have any good drawings of what a prototype facility layout might be. There are 2 drawings of a couple modules they built, but they are not helpful in describing the operation logic of them (How full trains come in, get broken down, and empty trains get made up and sent off...) ANY help or direction would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! Your Friend, John Lardino, Woodstock, IL PS: Hi Lowell...
