I'm starting to mull over just what to do with the fresh boards sitting down one side of the shed at the moment. Whilst there is the temptation to rush in, I made that mistake with the fiddle yard last time and it became the major reason for the destruction of Wycliffe.

I am playing with various configurations, but I may hold fire until the code 55 3 way point is released. Hopefully that will be at some point in Q4 of this year.

in the mean time the debate goes on within the darkest recesses of my brain as to what's next. There seem to be little groups of men scurrying around in there with differing idea's currently going something along the lines of

1st group - It should have big station

Next group - don't be daft, that hasn't worked the last 2 times, so just 2 tracks in scenery

Next group - Nah, do something like a set of exchange sidings by the main line. You know like the bit on the way to Paddinton where those old EWS trucks are sitting. Its near Southall

lone voice in the corner - Try P4

everyone - Get him :-)

Seriously though, in the above there are 3 ideas

The first is a main line running past a load of semi's, with may be just a passing loop on either side.

The second is a main line with a couple of carriage sidings on one side, and a large set of exchange sidings the other.

The 3rd is based on a C Freezer plan. If you have PSL Book of Model Railway Track Plans, go to plan 70a

I have sketched out the second which currently is leading, and I am doing some reading on exchange sidings, but we shall see where my inner demons go over the coming months.

The three things by the way I can share are

It will be Diesel with the ability to be green or blue era

It will be a roundy for watching trains go by

It will interlink to the other side of the shed so in the future when I decide I have had enough of Cumberland Road I can link it with some form or terminus station.
