I never knew Fouling was an issue. or didn't know that's what it was called. On the HDMMRC layout and Yard, we do sometimes have this issue. But we use the One finger (no, not that finger) rule. A finger has to fit between engine, car or cars at the Point. Nice video, Thanks.

Pretty cool Thomas, you do see them marked on the prototype! Growing up I never noticed them, seems to be a recent thing! (Dave).
