Timesaver is a well-known [1] model railroad switching puzzle (U.K. English: shunting puzzle) created by John Allen. [2] It consists of a specific track layout, a set of initial conditions, a defined goal, and rules which must be obeyed while performing the shunting operations.
Inglenook Sidings, created by Alan Wright (1928 - January 2005), is a model railway train shunting puzzle.It consists of a specific track layout, a set of initial conditions, a defined goal, and rules which must be obeyed while performing the shunting operations.
Micro 'pizza layout' with 9 mm gauge track in 7 mm scale (09 scale) An important aspect of any model railway is the layout of the track itself. Apart from the stations, there are four basic ways of arranging the track, and innumerable variations: Continuous loop. A circle or oval, with trains going round and round. Used in train sets. Point to ...
A train simulator (also railroad simulator or railway simulator) is a computer-based simulation of rail transport operations. They are generally large complicated software packages modeling a 3D virtual reality world implemented both as commercial trainers, and consumer computer game software with 'play modes' which lets the user interact by stepping inside the virtual world.
A simple fiddle yard with three sidings. The track at the bottom goes to the scenic section of the layout. A fiddle yard or staging yard is a collection of model railway tracks that are hidden from view and allow trains to be stored and manipulated by the operators.
SimSig is a mixed donationware [1] and commercial Windows-based train simulator of modern railway signalling systems in Great Britain, from the point of view of a railway signaller. [2] Users have also had success running SimSig on Linux using Wine. [3]
The largest live steam layout, with 25 miles (40 km) of track is Train Mountain in Chiloquin, Oregon, U.S. [3] Operations form an important aspect of rail transport modelling with many layouts being dedicated to emulating the operational aspects of a working railway. These layouts can become extremely complex with multiple routes, movement ...
Tangent track in blue with transition spiral in red and curved track in green. Horizontal layout is the track layout on the horizontal plane. This can be thought of as the plan view which is a view of a 3-dimensional track from the position above the track.
