After that long interval, some sort of a trackplan:

This obviously shows only the front curve of the layout, the return curves and fiddleyard being hidden. Although notionally on a double track line, the fiddleyard will have single line entry - see below.

I wanted a double track line with main line trains, but wanted to work it as a single line for operational interest (and fiddleyard flexibility). A contradiction in terms? Not if a double line has to narrow to single to pass over a swing bridge!

Sweedymen may imagine from the plan that St Olave's station has been shuffled up the line a bit to be adjacent to its bridge. The very end of the down platform makes an appearance on the layout, though it's the goods siding, dock and (fictional) up lie-by siding that are actually on stage. However, there is room to the right of the layout for an extension in the future which would give another 4 scenic feet, allowing the station buildings and level crossing beyond to be modelled. At the present rate of progress that will be in about 2020!

The sidings will lie on an embankment, with a grey Norfolk sky beyond. The other main feature, of course, is the bridge (and the muddy creek it crosses). Although the trackplan is based on St Olave's I may use the (old) Beccles bridge as the prototype here - it looks more picturesque and will probably be easier to build. I suspect matchsticks will be the material of choice for much of the bridge. If anyone has a non-copyright picture I'd be glad of one to post.

Now all I have to do is get on with it.
