Layout design assessment - 6
3b: Joe Fugate’s Siskiyou Line upper level track
plan. Joe used the stats in this article to help him
design and set the capacity for Roseburg Yard
and for his Eugene/Medford staging. Joe has
found the number of cars moved and the max cars
capacity stats to both be good predictors of actual
experience. Also the dispatching threshold applies
to the train sizes Joe runs on his layout and
predicts the complexity of dispatching based on
train size and Joe’s varying passing siding lengths.
