Trout Brook

This eight track yard is configured mainly for staging. But, it has basic scenery. The name comes from Trout Brook Junction in St. Paul. The modules will serve on a home layout as a staging yard representing that location. The one sub-piece, Trout Book Crossover, rightmost in the drawing, is a bona fide double track Free-mo module that could be used on its own. The wedge section adds versatility with a branching track making a 22.5 degree angle to the yard.
