The 1/50 project, some vague layout ideas
I have been thinking about a layout. Well, we do don’t we. There must be a million thought about layouts for every one that ever got built, layout planning is a whole sub culture of the railway modelling world.
Anyway I may have an L shaped space.
This is the kind of idea I’m playing with. Very rough sketch, mainly playing about with the idea of a deeper layout with hidden storage to the rear to reduce length. I do think the run round is needed, the rest is just initial thoughts.
It uses a sectorplate to access hidden storage, my thinking being that it saves about 600 mm of pointwork for effectively a 1 m headshunt.
All very nebulous so far. However it hinges on the possibility of a reliable metre long 4 way sectorplate remotely controlled. Oh, and kinda inexpensive to build. Time for messing about with wood and electronics.
