Today we will design a passenger station with adjacent freight yard. I will explain exactly how we came to this specific track plan, and how it fits in to the layout. No switch is left closed!

Great video, the client must be very excited to have this all drawn out for him in such a way. The video also explains really well why certain choices were made. Especially the turnout count show what is and is not useful in certain scenarios. I cannot wait for the next installment! Have a great weekend :D

Hi Richy, good to hear my videos are understood well. I really enjoy making track plans so I guess you see that in the design itself. Please note this was a layout design consultancy job. One of the services I provide.

Coming out of the yard to the right, it appears that that a train crosses the inside main to get to the outside main. But it has to be a fully switchable crossing, (4 turnouts in one?) to allow all movements in both directions, yes?

Yes correct. All the directions are needed. With all the required connections on that side of the yard these english turnouts are just a massive convenience and space saver.

What size switches and curve radius is shown?

@DubaiTrains 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Conrail. All the normal R en L turnouts are the Marklin 'long turnout' varient. These correspond roughly to turnout #5. The curved turnouts and wye's are peco. The client will convert these to 3 rail. I will elaborate more on this topic in the next video.
