Yesterday, I uploaded Episode 7 in my Switching Operations 101 YouTube series. Among other things, I focus on the importance and procedures related to ensuring you have a functional “couple” prior to doing a shove move. I also cover the procedure for dicey moves across heavily-traveled streets. Thanks to all of the professional railroaders and experienced modelers who have contributed the prototype information necessary for us to all learn how things are done.

In my recent book, 8 Modern Era Track Plans, I actually have a full chapter and design for a layout focused on the switchback in my video.
I’m loving the new videos. Your ops sessions are the perfect digestible size. And seeing the details of your buildings has been inspiring
Thanks Eric. Glad you’re enjoying them.
