This is an almost scale (only missing 180 scale feet) yard as it once was in my hometown of Orangeville. It takes up 23.5 feet and is only part of Richard Wakefield's (now dismantled) Bruce Railways layout focusing on CPR in the 1940s. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mcswiz.com/MyLayout/Orangeville.htm">http://www.mcswiz.com/MyLayout/Orangeville.htm</a><!-- m -->
With some staging at each end, you could run trains in and out of the yard all day and be kept very busy. While Richard has added a few fictional industries and trains for the purposes of his layout, for the most part it is accurate. There were as many as a dozen trains a day, each doing their own switching as there was no yard switcher at the time.
Could make for a very interesting operation!
