Peter Kazmierczak Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 My trap points are just dummies - nothing wrong with that in my book Andy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

emt_911 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Looking good Andy. As I'm looking at how the layout would view on HA I have one quick observation / question. Will the cement loading facility at the front restrict the view too much? I don't know the answer but maybe food for thought Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the answer but maybe food for thought Funny you should say that Duncan, Look what I just procured from a world famous auction site Mate. It will be fine as can be seen on Melangoose as well. Guess I need some Cement Wagons now, Oh well I have a mate that owes me some bits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The beauty of having a terminus with a freight-only branch, is that Andy can run a flow of traffic through the station (after reversal), without having to provide the actual loading/unloading facilities. So, depending on the area, there could be coal, stone, china clay, timber etc etc running-round in the station. Empties one way, loaded trains the other. Plenty of potential with this track layout. Like the final position/size of the loco yard - looks just right to me. No point in having a TMD - would be out of proportion to the other facilities. Think Andy's finally cracked it.

Andrew P Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Thanks Peter, really appreciate you comments, and the great thing is with things like the Silver Bullets, and Van Traffic etc you cant see whether a vehicle is loaded or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 l see there still some room for some scenery... Yes Mate, the plan is to have some greenery along behind the Station / Signal Box, and also along the frontage. There wont be much in the way of none Railway Buildings on here. I will be saving all the Cottages / Church / Pubs etc for the next project / Village Scene but there may be room for the Baron Bodgit Pub next to the Station, as that is still in the Cupboard waiting for pride of place somewhere.

Marcus 37 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Looking really good Andy. Nice rate of progress. Track plan looks good now with plenty of entrainment value by the looks of things. Careful though or you'll end up like me, too much playing and not enough modelling. But hey ho it's nice to see some trains move .
