Redesign. I suspected something like this would happen! So are we one step back? I think not! Let's make the most of it! So what have I changed? I have gained no room in the yard at station one, I have however gained room at the loco depot. This is where I have made most of my changes. 1. I have removed the service stock road next to the turntable. This always seemed a bit clunky and too close. 2. I've moved the points from the service stock road to before the loco depot points from the yard. This has done 2 things, a) created a longer headshunt and b) given me 2 longer roads in this sections (as noted in 3). 3. I've added a set of points and two sidings off this set of points. This will be the FO sidings, and the 46 sidings. What does this achieve? |
Lastly I've added a service/cleaners/workers platform between these 2 sidings.
4. Lastly I had to decrease the size of the substation.
So I've lost a service stock siding and gained a longer goods siding. I call that a fair trade off.
Fantastic! It's all looking good! Nice short blog this time! Soon I hope to start planning and designing the legs. Below is the base board design.

Once the legs are done, I hope to put up a gallery of all the designs to see from start to finish how it's all progress.
