- In this video, I discuss some of the resources that I used in developing the track diagrams that are printed along the fascia of the model railroad layout.

Thanks Eric for redoing this video so quickly. These documents will make operation and switching more interesting.
You bet, I feel bad when I happen to upload something that's not as good as it should be. Glad to hear this is helpful.
This is a re-upload of the video from yesterday, with the full video! Again, I have been having issues with my video editing software and I think I need to find a new program. Sorry about that!
This is a really cool resource! I’ve only operated my layout a few times with more than just myself around (thanks COVID) but I got feedback about needing to better label things - especially in the unfinished areas. But this is an even better idea - and one I’ll be adapting for my own layout. Thanks again for sharing! - John
Great, glad to hear that this is helpful for you and can be used on your layout for labeling things!
That is Kool information 👍 thanks
Conrail also utilized Zone Maps too.
Great video
Hey Eric,
Me I am modelling a fictional private shortline based upon a former private RR's prototype branchline as my mainline .
My roadname is based at Luebeck in northern germany to connect the inner city with a seaside subburb and organising some industrial and harbour tracks in addition.
Lot of , continental, european Railroads had their own different rules for itself.
At Signal Towers or at Station Mastet Offices they used a Track Diagram to locate any Turnout or Track and of course all the Signals and their locations.
The Basics:
• The Direction of a RR Line is counted Up in Milage or Kilometers, so the Up line starts by Zero and goes up in counting and the other direction is the Down line.
• By Counting of Track Numbers it starts from the nearest Track to the Stationmaster Office inside a Depot or Station Building. So Track 1 is mostly the Platform Track ahead the Depot or Station Building. If a Station Building stands between some Tracks than one side using the normal Counting starting by Track 1 and the opposite using some higher Track Numbers like beginning in the 30's or hundreds like Track 100 and up.
• If a siding will have two dead ends than than in up direction than a small letter is being used in addition like ,,a" and ,,b" in addition to the Track Number, like 1a and/or 1b of Track 1 (in Up line direction)
• Km Stones or Hektometer Boards using Numbers standing above each other.
35/4 = Km 35 and 400 m as example.
Hektometer Boards standing all 200 meters in upline direction alongside any RR Track like Mile Stones or Km Stones.
• Any private customer is located by their Hektometer location.
The Lettering of Signals can be done in different ways, before it gave an often used ,,standard" the signals counted or lettered in very different ways at every station, so it is still giving a wide varity of such Signal lettering.
• On bigger Stations or Yards they are used track numbers in Addition to identifying each signal location inside Track plans or diagrams.
There are diffences between Mainlines, Branchlines, Sidings and/or private tracks.
Very cool, thanks for sharing the details of your model railroad!
I have shamelessly copied your track diagrams. I model the Long Island RR in the 60s. There is an excellent website with loads of information about the LIRR, including a number of track diagrams. With lots of research and studying of maps and track diagrams I was able to reproduce the prototype fairly accurately in some areas. But beware, the older hand-drawn maps are usually completely not to scale with actual trackage, which can get confusing.
No problem, feel free to copy whatever you like that you see here! And that's a very good point about these track drawings not being to scale.
So Eric, where have you been? Did I miss any of your videos? I hope everything is doing well.
Sorry for the super late response, I have been taking a break from videos and plan to start up posting again soon. I will be starting a new layout soon and will have some videos on that.
@@emillerz Well keep us posted. I know I enjoy watching them. Thanks and take care.
@@ichabod0391 will do! I hope to have a video announcing the new layout in a week or so.
