Train Arrival Yards Important To Model Train Layouts
The arrival yard is where arriving trains drop off the cars of their train. The cars are then moved to the classification yard, being switched back and forth as necessary to get the right cars onto the right trains. The trains are then built out and moved to the departure yard. After getting a new caboose and locomotive, they then proceed to their next destination.
Hand Laid Rail … It Can Be Done!
It goes without saying that model railroading can be a very exacting hobby. It all depends on how well detailed you want your locomotives, rolling stock, structures, scenery and/or trackwork. Some modelers are very particular in one or two phases, while a few are extremely rigid in all aspects of the hobby. Model Train Resource.

Australian Rail System Mixed Gauge
In Queensland Australia, the rail network is narrow guage, with a standard gauge connection with Sydney. The New South Wales & Australian Capital Territory (ACT) system is standard gauge . (ACT is a small area within the borders of New South Wales set up as an independent administrative district around the federal capital Canberra).
In Western Australian the rail system is still narrow gauge and the South Australian system is broad gauge.
The Ghan train to Alice Springs in the Northern Territory went from narrow guage to standard guage in 1956 when it by passed Pichi Richi – a local preservation group still runs trains on the narrow guage section.
