I’ve seen a similar layout set up on YouTube and given the space would do the same. Thanks for the links, in the French link, what do think is stacked up on those DB flat wagons? I’ve spent a chunk of the day watching hump shunting at Somain yard In Northern France, a few years back now. There was a lot of activity on that morning. But I believe the yard is a fraction of its former self now! And may only be a few sidings now☹️ Here’s the sought of thing I’m after 👍

I have no idea and the picture is a bit fuzzy. Sorry Originally Posted by: danmarklinman I’ve spent a chunk of the day watching hump shunting at Somain yard In Northern France, a few years back now.

Joined: 28/11/2007(UTC) Posts: 8,242 Location: Montreal, QC		I have photos of the Muttenz and Limmattal marshalling yards in the various books by Marti and Trueb (Die Gotthardbahn, etc) (various editions). I have not seen very many videos online from the 80s and 70s. Trainfart has some more recent videos of the Ablaufberg: I did find this one (Basel DB) from 1983: Regards Mike C

He was a tall fella and his layout was in his loft so he was constantly bent over. I used to spend hours watching these videos but cant find them now.

If you watch some of the 70s videos there are many passing clips of yards shown. https://www.youtube.com/user/TheTraintv/videos
