An old sepia photo of the Switching Yard in the evening. There are 32 turnouts in the Switching Yard. Each turnout is controlled by a Dwarf signal. The "new"JJJ&E is run by a radio controlled NCE Power Pro DCC system, and all turnouts are controlled by a stationary decoder. Each dwarf signal is wired to an individual stationary decoder, in this case a NCE Switch-Kat.

This is an early panoramic view of the front part of the turnaround area east of San Marino before most of the trees and foliage were planted. The building adjacent  to      Roscoe's Engine is a Plumbing Parts & Service area. The three mainline track tracks in the foreground sweep  around the  turnaround area using 23-24 inch radii in N scale.
