This invaluable, well-illustrated book is essential reading for all
those railway modellers who are considering building a fiddle yard.
The fiddle yard is a train storage area for locomotives and rolling
stock that often remains out of view. For the modeller, it
represents the 'rest of the railway network' and it is essential
for layouts as it is somewhere for trains to 'come from' and
somewhere for trains to 'go to'. This fascinating book defines what
a fiddle yard is in terms of operational variety, storage and
swapping trains. It demonstrates how a fiddle yard can be
integrated into a model railway layout. It covers track-only fiddle
yards using a single track, ladders of multiple tracks and
reversing loops and considers design issues for oval and terminus
layouts as well as combination fiddle yards and the importance of
train length and baseboards. There are four detailed projects for
the reader to build, each one providing a different fiddle yard
solution. If you have ever wondered what fiddle yards are all about
and whether your layout needs one, then this is the book for you.
