Ferndike Wharfgoods yard · pick-up goods, this afternoon
A knot of punters lean over the rope. Baz has the controller warm in his hand and a fresh rake of wagons just set out on the boards.
MAKE UP: TANK – OPEN – VAN – MINERAL – BRAKE, that way out!
Right then! Off you go — click a wagon in a siding to couple the loco up to it and draw the cut back into the headshunt. Click the bare rail past your held cut to set it down in a siding instead.

RIGHT AWAY!
Mind the trap — a siding only holds what it holds. Tuck the wagon you don't need out of the way in the far road so you can reach the one behind it. It rarely takes as many goes as you'd think.
