Shouldn't the real question be how long is the classification yard in comparison with the size of the layout? I mean if one only has a 4x8 layout this is going to be a lot different answer than if someone has a basement pike empire.Just polling to see the different lengths used for HO scale classification yards.

In any case my answer is zero. None of my layouts or even planned layouts have a classification yard.
Thank you so much, Mr. Ken. You've got a really nice one there!Ohhhh, about 20' or so.
Now I am confused because the conversation started with "classification" yards and now you are saying "staging" yard. Those two serve entirely different purposes and in my book are different things. I used to have an N-scale layout that had a 6 foot staging yard on a 2'x8' layout. All my layout designs include the longest and most number of staging tracks possible.Basement layouts are common and I've seen guys with basement layouts that didn't have much of a staging yard. I've also seen smaller layouts that were mainly staging yards.
