A good Rails, LaGrange, KY number of railroaders have an urban setting so they can have a number of industries for their fleet of freight cars to serve during an ops session. Buildings may get kit-bashed and extra details are added to make that urban scene come alive. And those are exactly the goals I’ve set in the making of my layout. Most narrow gauge modelers have their layouts set in some part of the Rockies or the Sierras with the interest in mining or logging. Gone are all the heavy industries and the multi-storied buildings. Enter wooden truss bridges, tall rock cuts, and various retaining walls.

  • LAYOUT DESIGN with a PASSENGER TRAIN EMPHASIS a Clinic Presented to the National Model Railroad Association, Portland, Oregon, August 23-29, 2015 by Robert A
    LAYOUT DESIGN WITH A PASSENGER TRAIN EMPHASIS A clinic presented to the National Model Railroad Association, Portland, Oregon, August 23-29, 2015 by Robert A. Clark The premise of this clinic is that a passenger train oriented layout can be designed, built and operated just as well as the traditional freight dominated one. Most track plans minimize passenger train facilities and trackage. This is common to virtually all writings on layout design, and leads to the usual layout with its two or three track passenger terminal with the tracks being used for passenger car storage as well as arrivals, departures, and servicing. This is “selective compression” with a vengeance. Operation of passenger trains on home layouts also has been discounted, although passenger train operation is fairly well discussed in the publications. Freight trains appear to offer a lot of switching possibilities compared to passenger trains because model rails think of passenger service as it is today. Fixed consists that are run from originating city to destination city undisturbed by switching enroute are now normal, although they were once quite rare. As late as 1967 you might have found yourself riding a car switched into as many as five trains in a through service between Houston or Dallas and Richmond (California)/Los Angeles operated by the Santa Fe, which necessitated much switching enroute (see my California Special article in the NMRA Bulletin). There is no reason a layout should not feature passenger trains, terminals, and operations as an alternative to freight trains. Handout Organization This handout focuses on layout design, with a brief closing section on operations.
