So... as the title suggests I am having a bit of a sleepless night, various things on my mind means that I need something to try and relax me... so I set up Ffarquhar and placed a rough print out of the trackplan down. There is something magical about placing the trackplan down on a fresh baseboard for the first time and this time was no different but it didn't stop there, soon I was placing Locos and Rolling stock to get a feel for the layout:

I have also tested just how much I can get in the platform area and found I can fit two longer bogie coaches and still have room to go round the run around loop, so I can also run Edward, Donald, Douglas and Emily which means more operation potential... even though it isn't prototypical... Then again there is rule no. 1

Until next time...
