Nice, succinct introduction to basic switching. I would definitely recommend it for someone who doesn't know much about switching a model railroad. It would give them a good start. For me, both the screen captures from the layout design software and the model with the toy train were very clear demonstrations of what you were talking about. Nice job.

Best way I ever saw to make even a simple layout challenging and complex is to use car spots. So you don’t have to just spot x number of cars at the industry but they need to be in a certain order, and your train doesn’t conveniently have then in that order. To make it even more complex make it o you have to pull cars from the industry as well as set out, and even re-spot some cars that are still being unloaded, one turnout layouts can get real complex real quick lol.

Exactly. The trick is to find the right balance. Making every operation session feel new and unique.

What are the toy trains used for overhead switching? Magnetic coupling!! Cool idea for working out if the track plan is good, also great for getting kids involved without crushing a few locos or couplers. A great first step if you will.

Hello, I was wondering how much you charge to design small layouts. I currently have a 4x8 but I would like to switch to a around the wall type plan. However my creativity on layout design is not that great.

Hi Nathan, switching to a around the room design is a great idea! The amount of hours needed to make the design depends on a few factors. Can you contact me through my email as found in the YT about section? And we can talk in more detail.

@@DubaiTrains hello again, I checked on that and I could not find your email anywhere. Just an overview. I would love to discuss trackplan and other ideas via email. If you could provide that for me I could be in touch with you very quickly

If you’re going to switch the layout that you designed and demonstrated during the bulk of this video, would you write out what needed to happen first, or would you just do it how you envisioned and improvise as you went? Is it too much to make car cards etc for this layout?

You could make car cards. I think I would make a switchlist though.

Thanks for this, as written on FB, switching is undercounted in model railroading, especially in European Railroading.

Hi Raymond, I used 1 three way switch leading into the 'yard'. The: N scale, Peco finescale Code 55 SL-E399F I also used a double slipswitch. This is the most left turnout. It's a: N scale, Peco finescale Code 55 SL-E390F

Time Saver?

I would classify the time saver more as a puzzle than a railroad switching scenario. The layout at the end of the video has a built in time saver.
