Check out this video, just released by Model Trains Video: Siskiyou Line Op Session LIVE no.1  It's selling for $10, which is a great price. To learn more, click here.

I am wondering how you manage to make joins on the curved yard tracks. Thanks...

The layout was designed following the curve guidelines here on the Layout Design SIG web site. The curves in the yards are at 5X my longer rolling stock, which makes coupling on curves in the yard quite reliable most of the time. Check out the above curve rule-of-thumb link. The insight in this one link has transformed my layout efforts from pipe-dreams into designs where I know exactly how the rolling stock will look and what is needed to get reliable performance.
