North Downs Heritage Railway #4
Whilst the house is being cleared I decided to play around with my layout design and here is the result:
The set track level crossing has been taken out and an annotation on where the level crossing will be placed has been added as I plan not to use the set track level crossing. It has also moved to the right slightly allowing me to extend the restoration shed which has now got an extra siding. The points to the goods siding have been moved back and the siding has been extended. I have also added that Platform 2 will host the main station buildings such as toilets and ticket office as platform 2 is only for shuttle trains.
As I said before the layout will be DCC controlled but the points will not be as I will get a control panel which allows me to switch points without having to number them. I am still deciding between the Digitrax starter controller (which I have had a go at) or the NCE Powercab (which I have not had a go at yet).
The fiddle yard will for now be a simple set of sidings at either end but I have not worked out the length of them but they need to cater for a tank engine plus 2/3 bogie carriages at least.
My next blog will most likely be another one about my fleet for this layout unless any changes to the design or construction begins.
As always any constructive feedback is welcome.
Thanks for reading
