1: Equipment locks play a key role in the operating
scheme of James McNab’s HO scale Iowa Interstate
Grimes Industrial Track layout. His simple but straight-
forward methods can easily be used on your own mod-
el railroad.

Grimes Industrial Track layout, I realized that I was missing out
by not including these locks as part of my operating scheme.
Not only would including equipment locks on my layout better
represent the prototype practice, it would also add additional
tasks for my crews to perform, adding time and interest to my
operating sessions.
These locks can easily be added to your new or existing layout,
as well as incorporated into your own operating sessions, with
little investment of time and money.
