This article provides the data necessary to design our yards to perform as we would in real life. The general layout may be altered to fit the space we have available, so long as we keep the features that control the type of operation we want. Scroll through the explainations to learn what is important to include in our yard. Scroll down to the bottom schematic to see a full yard system. http://www.housatonicrr.com/yard_des.html [ 26.

I would also like to mention this website- the Layout Design Primer. Lotsa great information for designing your model railroad, and the URL was found off the same site Watash referred to.
Wayne, I lost that site in a hard drive format (virus). So I'm glad you posted it as I have now re-bookmarked it.
