Hat tip to Brian Macdermott again for todays film. Entitled "Taking care of business", the film by Model Railroader magazine follows the activity on the SMS industrial estate railway as they deal with inbound and outbound freight.
It's really a great big model railway, with the shunting, carried out in the slightly haphazard way I operate my layouts.
Bonus feature: Some of the "cars" (as our American friends call wagons) travel on the most enormous boat.
Head to the Model Railroader website to watch the video.

If you're interested in US style switching layouts, written from the perspective of someone who does the real thing as a day job, check out the New Castle Industrial Railroad blog, http://oscalewcor.blogspot.co.uk
It's a veritable treasure trove of information, though it just stopped mysteriously in 2011 and noone seems to know why.
It's things like this that have led me on a deviation from my W&U tramway layout over to the American scene. Inglenooks are just as possible, (although you may need 5ft instead of the 4 for UK stock,) with the advantage of so many wagon/car liveries available.
