2018 NMRA National Convention at Kansas City

While we spend considerable time and effort researching, and detailing our locomotives, rolling stock and structures we too often neglect investing comparable efforts for our track. One aspect that should be given more attention is replicating the prototype infrastructure that exists in an around grade crossings. We need to identify features that should be included on our model railways as part of our scenery efforts.
Operation focused modellers can add to their enjoyment by implementing trackside signage that requires compliance by crews.
Details to be considered include approach roads, materials used between the rails, protection requiring road and railway signage, pedestrian considerations, abandonment, and other bits of infrastructure. Some model railway examples are included.
