Re: Passenger Operations on my New Layout
|
Is this American or European passenger service? It seems to me that that would make a difference in what you wanted to do? Or am I overstating the differences? Also, era, I would think, would make a difference.
Barring all this knowledge, I would suggest looking at British terminal model railroad operation videos on YouTube. It seems to me that those folks have turned terminal model railroads into a high art form. ;-) It's a poetic dance of trains, shunting, consist swapping, etc. I'm sure you would find something inspiring there.
I recently moved and I am starting a new layout. I want to have both passenger and freight operations. I'm starting with passenger operations. I have designed a line with a terminal at one end and a turnaround at the other. The terminal will have 2 incoming and 2 outgoing tracks leaving room for executive cars, a commissary and engine storage. At the other end, the turnaround has a storage yard included to hold name train setups. I feel right now it just runs back an forth with a few stops along the way. Can anybody suggest ways to add more switching interest so there's more to do? Thanks for any help I can get!
