For now, I am only going to have a staging yard, and since I have some FREE Atlas Remote right hand #6 switches, that’s what I am going to use until I want something more realistic.
The shortest staging track will be about 48″, which should safely hold a 15 car train if they are all 40″ cars. The longest track will be about 64″, I also have some free left had standard remote switches, I might put them on the two longer tracks to allow for a run around track to build a train.
