Rail Descriptions Confusing
Railway terminology can be confusing at times, especially if you are new to the hobby. Mike has question for you relating to railroad terms you might like to help him out with.
“Hi all. I am relatively new to the world of model railways and I am unsure of the correct terms of various sections of rails. Some layouts show single track, others show two or even up to six. I have been told about the up fast line and the down slow line, could this be explained to me? Also other terminology like head shunt. Any information will be greatly recieved.”
