Interchange with the CNR – The Model Railway Show

In a current publish about creating extra benchwork for my S -Scale model of Niagara St. Catherine and Toronto Railway, I discussed that I used to be pressured to shake the connection between indicators scenes to suit the actual railway in my place. I believed I’d share a few of my design selections by way of a collection of letters.

The three observe interchange yard can place 15 50 toes automobiles on two tracks, and it additionally features a scale observe for extra operational curiosity. The junction between Geneva Avenue and the principle observe of Ontario Avenue is throughout the junction.

I noticed that if I design the yard to be lively (equivalent to may be restored through the session), it may trigger extra site visitors within the decrease area. It really works effectively as a result of I’ve two or six drivers cupboards to roll up inventory storage immediately from this yard, so I can simply transfer the products on the structure and out.
