HO Rail Yard Construction
Raymond wants advice from experienced model railroaders and asks:
“Do your readers have a suggestion for resources teaching and planning for how to create a yard on a HO layout – I need help with how to couple and uncouple from idle cars in the yard to a switcher to another loco on the mainline. So I need suggestions how to do these steps and how to plan, purchase and place the magnets as well as the way to do the turnouts and block control for these maneuvers.
One specific question I have is whether it is feasible to perform the switching moves when there is any grade change or regardless of precautions, will there always be a problem with freight cars rolling downhill. I am assuming that this would be feasible as long as I can control the coupling and uncoupling very well with parked locomotives and end of line bumpers preventing the downhill escape. Thank you in advance for suggestions on how I can learn more about and plan this.”
