Approximately 3' X 20' plus wedge
This
eight track yard is configured mainly for staging. But, it has basic
scenery. The name comes from Trout Brook Junction in St. Paul. The
modules will serve on a home layout as a staging yard representing that
location. The one sub-piece, Trout Book Crossover, rightmost in the
drawing, is a bona fide double track Free-mo module that could be used
on its own. The wedge section adds versatility with a branching track
making a 22.5 degree angle to the yard.
