We had our first clinic at our May 7th club gathering on RR yard design and operations presented by Phil Brooks. It was a good turnout and Phil provided a good overview on the many scenarios and pitfalls of yard design. It was interesting to be able to compare side by side basic yard designs and to better understand the reason for what can look like a splatter of spaghetti.

The handouts and references Phil provided are good sources of information. When the times comes to actually design your own layout or critique your existing yard these will be a good aid.

This is the first of a series of clinics our club will be presenting. I hope everyone gets a chance to attend future offerings. It's a great way to share our many talents with fellow club members.
