Some very exciting news for us here is the announcement of the pre-order status of my next book, Designing & Operating Yards which is due to arrive in November 2024! It is available from the publisher Firecrown Media at bookstores and hobby shops, as well as on Amazon.com or your favorite online bookstore.
Like Signals & Interlockings several years ago, this work is an effort to provide an overview of prototype railroad yard design and operations as well as a discussion on how we can model those same elements on our railroads. The book look at history, engineering, and operations for a variety of prototypes and includes essays by a variety of experts on how different railroads managed yards.
This work is only possible because of the generous contributions of many talented people and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them to create the finished product.
The larger world today seems to be a bit of a wild ride that is accelerating, and this book helps us to focus on real and tangible activity as much as it provides some philosophy on railroading and modeling railroads. I hope you enjoy it!
