Model Railway Yard Design And The Model Railway Main Line

Prototype railways go to great lengths to keep the main line clear. The same rule applies to a model railway layout. The main line is the artery that carries the life blood of the railway, passengers and freight. Just like the arteries of a human body, the main lines need to be kept clear to allow for the free-flow of train traffic. Obstructing the main lines causes major problems to the railway system.

Ideally the main line should only have two turnouts leading to the classification yard, one at each end. And, they are only used when complete trains either enter or leave the yard.

However, in saying that, it isn't always necessary when planning a small stub-end terminal yard, or a yard for a lightly used branch line. If the branch railway line only supports one or two trains a day, and trains should proceed at restricted speed and be ready to stop for any obstruction. There usually isn't a problem with using the main line, even as a lead railway track.
