Well almost happy

Hum, a dry fit of the board made it clear the entrance was rather cramped, so I shrank the left hand curve by six inches, I have also abandoned the "bay," to be rigid the board would be thick and heavy and would need supports, not what I want. I hate to give up the moorings though so I have added a small canal and dock, though any buildings will have to be two dimensional.

 

I have extended the terminal come fiddle yard to help me build up stock, I have also added a direct link to the freight yard so I can cruise two trains and still run shunting ops across the board.

 

It gobbles up model space but I can fit a village on the headland, lighthouse and pub, an old castle, radar station and few bits here and there. Beside the freight station and terminus. Hope to have at least some of the layout up before Christmas.

I like the location of the terminus station outside the main layout area as you've shown here and the way its connected to the main layout at two different points.  I did wonder how you might cope with the large expanse of bay, particularly the resulting reach you would need to the back part of the layout, e.g. to sort out any derailments in the tunnel.  Problem solved when you remove the bay.
