Missy has asked if I had a track plan for what I'd be building.

Well, sorta!

The background is a combination of a scan from "Manchester Victoria Station" by Tom Wray and screen shots of Google Maps. The scan represents Manchester Victoria in the 1930's, and Google Maps show the area post-Arena.

The yellow lines are track I've worked out from photos etc were around in the 1980's, the light blue line I'm not 100% sure about.

The green area is the approximate non-scenic area of the baseboards. As it stands with the 20' x 4' of baseboards I currently have, there will need to be some modification of the track-plan, especially at the western end to enable the track to get into the fiddle yard while maintaining a decent minimum radius. I do have room to extend each end by a foot or two, so I will probably end up doing that instead.

I have traced most of the yellow into Templot, ready for the track to be built, but I thought that this version was easier to follow. I'll post the Templot .box file for the layout when I've tidied it up a little.
