This entry is at the request of a couple of people from layout threads. I did post trial track plans last year and the one I have posted here is as near to what i am building as makes no difference. The blocks on the plan mark the position of roof trusses, although the plan assumed that they are in line when actually they are out, so as you move from left to right the real position of subsequent trusses is slightly below the last one, accruing a significant distance over 12 baseboard sections. I didnt find this out when building the previous layout!

The position of all these trusses imposes some restrictions of layout. It is just possible to thread second and third radius parallel tracks between them on a right angle or semicircle but no significant feature like a station can be accommodated easily unless the track runs at 90 degrees to the trusses. I want to have some nice curves but these will be restricted to the rising track running along the front of the 'top' half of the layout to a viaduct section on the left. 

The terminus station on the left is raised, so the track along the bottom edge of the plan rises about 5cm to the junction then continues a bit higher at the station, and also the viaduct.

The end to end run is about 25 metres.

The through station is based on Wolverhampton High Level, which I have decided has already had its track approaches remodelled to eliminate the low level station while retaining the structure of the station as it was c. 1960, which I am going to try and model, or at least the facade, in the future. When I looked at archive photos of the station I thought it had 5 through tracks, which isnt correct, but I have left it the way I built it on my first layout. 

I have used mostly setrack and code 100 flexi some of which dates back more than 25 years, but having studied more track plans over the last year, and acquired some peco points, I decided to change the plan in the station area utilising streamline points. This may have been an inadvertant stroke of genius, as test laying on the upper half showed that the trusses were a bit closer than on plan (the wonky building I guess) and the station approach had to be modified to fit it in, with some loss of platform width. The reduced track separation using the peco should I hope enable all 7 tracks to fit in the available space. If not, the central through track in the station may have to go.
