At least half the sidings must accommodate max length train

• At least half the sidings must accommodate max length train

• • 100' for 2 locomotives
  • 40' for caboose
  • Average car length 50'
  • 33 x 50 = 1650'
  • Total length 1650+100+40=1790'
  • HO scale is 1:87 so 50% of sidings must be at least 20.5‘ actual length (1790/87)

• Staging yard so trains could come from/go to areas "off layout”.
