Model Railroad for Beginners - From Loop to Layout - Operating the Yard and Layout

**Click on Show More** **Please Like and Share**

The next step in my “From Loop to Layout” series continues from the last video, showing how I integrate the Yard and Industries together into a fully-operational layout. Sure, there's virtually no scenery yet, but this video shows how far we have progressed beyond the basic loop. This video explains the different parts of the layout including the yard, ways to visualize it for operations, and then I run an operations session with my son.

While this is N-Scale, the principles here are transferrable to any scale.

Don't worry, I'll still be doing lots of weathering, and more of those videos are already in the pipe, but this series will also help get my layout built!
