When not in use, the trains are stored in the
garage. A track runs down the side of the house and a removable
bridge can be placed in the side door of the garage to allow whole
trains to be taken out and put away in minutes.
The yard itself has four tracks that match the length of the
four tracks in the main yard in the backyard. The remote
interlocking control system allows all train movements to be
controlled while the operator is standing in or near the
garage.
The outer most track is also a "make-up" track which is not
under a shelf and has easy access. Cars and engines from the
shelves above can be made up into new trains quickly.
