Hi

Looking at the design again, with slight modification the left hand end, with the addition of an adapter unit, can be used on it's own as a layout in it's own right.

Looks interesting. I guess you could make the L/R combination between the coal siding and the mineral branch a 3-way to save space, but I'm not sure what it would mean for your eyesight! It certainly has "shuntability" though - which is (in my opinion) a vital ingredient. I guess you'll be drawing the mineral traffic up to the station loop headshunt, then propelling it on to the loop to run round.. otherwise the space between the loop point and the coal siding point isn't great...

I don't know of any prototype of Stephens railway, that used interlaced, 3 way, points. If you know of such a point I will be interested to know.
