There's only four 'allowed' in that shed-side road ... not SIX (only four isolation sections worked in) Hi Graham When I built my various diesel depots I divided my loco storage lines in 4 inch sections. 4 inches being the length of a shunter, 8 inches (2 sections) a Baby Deltic or Sulzer Bo-Bo, 12 inches (3 sections) a Peak, English Electric Type 4 or Deltic. This meant I could place my locos buffer to buffer (tension lock to tension lock) in the sidings, to me a shunter sitting on a 12 inch section with a big gap between it and the locos either side looked wrong. Bit stuck with Brush type 2s and English Electric type 3s as they are about 10 inches long, so some times they were 2 sections and other times 3 sections. A big bag of slide switches still worked out cheaper than a few hundred decoders. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite agree. I'm personally not a great fan of sheds (!) I prefer to see engines working for a living rather than lounging around. I learnt a long time ago, however, that it is easy, and more realistic, to put bucket loads of short sections into any loco yard that I did build.

But it would be a good reason to move across to dcc. Wiring and switches are no problem to me at all.. I have quite a few sound fitted locos already.. and..surprisingly the sound of a Whistler travelling up Shap even gets Red Leader happy.

Ian T This will be a working shed supporting the terminus Station, carriage sidings and goods yard. The storage sidings has a turntable and loco storage for storing locos ready to go up the hill.. I agree, sheds as a place to show locos off are ok but I prefer working sheds Baz 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it’s a bonus, but the twin benefits of constant higher voltage supply and being to park a loco without reference to regimented section breaks are there with or without sound. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Section breaks mean you get rid of the sound of 10 locos or more gently sizzling or ticking over. Which on some layouts "doesyourheadin" . The use of a "higher constant voltage" is bit of a red herring .. not surewhy youths know it is a major driver.. Baz 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
