#74 - Who needs a mainline?

from The Crossing Gate. Model railroad discussion. · host Twin Cities Division NMRA

In this episode, we discuss layouts with no mainline. One, if any yards, and minimal staging. Can you create a fun, operational layout that will stand the test of time? We discuss how a smaller layout can be more nimble, or accommodating to operators of any skill level. No clearing up for the express, no Train orders to decipher, no dispatcher to boss you around the railroad.Greg Dahl, Dan Dossa, and Thomas Gasior MMR discuss these ideas and more.This episode is sponsored by the David Hamilton Geography Bender and more. Plus the usual outtakes at the end.
