If you’re sharp you’ll remember to keep any cars bound for Royalite blocked next to the engine for the trip back. When ready to return you’d start the train out and run half the number of laps around the oval that you used to reach Mann Lake; the train could then arrive in Royalite. After you switch the elevators, you’d take the train out again for a similar number of laps before tak- ing the junction turnout and ending the run back in the fiddle yard. Equipment The NEAR’s equipment should be representative of a prairie branch line. For the steam era, 40-foot boxcars would be dominant on the freight ros- ter, with an assortment of tank, flat, and refrigerator cars added for variety. A 2-6-0 Mogul or 4-6-0 Ten-Wheeler would be typical of locomotives used on the prairie branch lines. For a modern-era NEAR you’d want a small fleet of government-owned cylindrical grain hoppers. An EMD switcher or a Geep would do nicely to stretch the slack. The NEAR’s sharp curves put it in the freight-only category for most mod- elers, but for the steam era a short combine at the end of the train might be used to offer mail, express, and pas- senger service to the prairie villages. Simple but fun The NEAR is simple and small, but has the potential for success. No matter which era the layout is set in – from steam to diesel – you’ll have hours of enjoyment rolling grain trains through the Canadian prairies. 1
