Plan - WIP

Had a play with AnyRail just now to put together a rather rough idea of the trackplan.

 

Its pretty simple. The idea that it'll be in two phases.

 

Phase One:

 

Exchange sidings + Exeter mainline

 

Phase Two:

 

Chilmark Depot

 

Still rather rough and might well change depending upon input from Natalie who I'm liaising with on this.

 

The nice thing about the area/plan is that it allows for similar stock to be used on this layout and the one Natalie and me are planning together (Hilsea/Portsmouth), which might cut down on costs a little. Again subject to change.

Looks promising - the depot/exchange setting is unusual, and the main line is a main line! Which era are you aiming for?

Hi Kelly,<br><br>Nice and simple, but with scope for interest. <br><br>There's a similar arrangement at RNAD Ernesettle outside Plymouth (put 50.417232,-4.194871 in Google Maps).... but the "main line" is the Gunnislake branch :)<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Jan<br>

Olddudders: Yes the mainline is purely for trains to go by! just to add a little extra to it (actually based on the prototype to some extent). The exchange sidings aren't quite right, but as a rough drawing they're ok.

 

As for era, I'm thinking WW2/50s or late 60s. Not fully decided on which yet, but all will give interesting options.
