Small Town, Big Industries. A Switcher's Prototypical Nightmare Part 1

Today, we are still running strong bringing you more realistic railroad switching operations on this highly detailed ho scale club layout. In this new series, we run over to Pond Run. A small town with big industries that can test experienced and seasoned train crews. This video is great for any model railroading enthusiast that loves prototypical operations. In part 1, we start off early in the morning building a train in East Pond Run Yard bound for Livingston where we pick up loads to bring back to Pond Run. While waiting in Livingston for all of cars to arrive, we sample the mainline action in and around the area. Once our manifest arrives, we build our return train and head back to Pond Run. Consider this the beginning of a switching tutorial that requires planning and patience to pull off correctly!
