I've started to develop a sequence for Killarney. It immediately became obvious that there needs to be a short piece of track between the fiddleyard points and the junction points. When a Mallow to Trelee train has been propelled out of the platform, it stops with the locomotive peeking out from under the bridge.

 

A decision was made to install stop blocks on the Down main, this happened on the proptotype, when it was taken out of use in March 2012. In exhibition mode the buffer stops will be cliped into position and the rail heads rust brown. In home operation it will be removed and the rail heads cleaned, with a track rubber.
