Old retaining walls & Old Lane

Yet another blast from the past:

 

I recently discovered I still had the retaining walls from the erstwhile Old Lane, which was a shunting layout which was just getting started when we were moving. It was based on a disused cutting are in Halifax on an ex LY/GNR bit of route which eventually led to the Queensbury triangle:

The layout is now landfill - but my retaining walls will now live on in my APA box layout, which may or not yet resemble the old lane cutting!

This believe it or not is the THIRD layout I have started inspired by the original real location, you never know one might get completed one day!

I understand your fascination with the location, and those substantial retaining walls.

 

You won't need to think much more about adding character and atmosphere, the walls are clearly going to take care of that. Good stuff.
