And, here’s the yard. As with the other module, this will also serve on my home layout. I do not have the necessary supplies to build this yet — I’m waiting to see how far along I get on the other one first.

The prototype for this yard was in Lake Placid, NY. I’ve added only one track (the first little spur at the upper right) to act as a switcher pocket. Also, due to space restrictions, I’ve had to eliminate the turntable. Instead, the two tracks at the lower right serce as the engine facility. The track by itself at the top of the plan is the passenger station track/freight departure track.

This should be a ton-o-fun to operate!

I can’t wait!
