gnnpnut posted:My HO railroad runs from staging yard to staging yard. While I have reversing loops at both ends, they are only used to stage trains. When operating, they are not required. Passenger trains have to run at a scale 50 mph to maintain schedule.
I operate on eight different railroads in the Chicagoland area, and none of them are "loops". They are all convincing.
How long are the mainlines?
