A model railroad interchange can be built simply for the visual appeal or it can offer great functionality on larger model railroad layouts. Whatever the reason is; you have different options to try here. Some modelers build interchanges with lines fading into the terrain, suggesting that the interchange fades into the horizon.

Practical version of railroad interchanges can include staging yards to mange heavy traffic. Staging yard can help you to store coaches and it can be used to represent destinations that are not covered in your map!
