Whilst continuing the momentum with the 'big push' for Horrabridge I've completed the track plan on templot.

The layout will have 4-5 feet cut out of it, the first cut will involve moving the bridge 1 & 1/2 feet closer to the station, and the reduction of the head shunts by approximately 3 feet.

 

Below are a couple of photographs showing the 8 foot station loops and goods shed. (Signal box and goods shed are temporary structures to provide an idea of where certain buildings will be.)

The curve of the station is very gentle, so when I get round to building the baseboards it shouldn't be too difficult. I'm currently thinking of having a straight back scene and a curved front. (The front being were the sofa is.)

Is the station inside of the deepest part of the curve Nick? If so then it should look very good with a curved front and the straight back.

 

Any pictures of your latest wagon building? ;)

Nice sweeping curves, should be a 'stunna' this one. Not so sure about the arable farming effects next to the station, though - the fields look a bit too regular in size..... :lol:

Hi Craig,

 

Yes the station is inside the deepest part, Brian pearce suggested that where the yard boundary is were the board edge should be so that the viewer can look right into the station buildings.

 

Wagons are on their way! I've got three which just need the brake levers adding and painting. :)

 

Regards,

Nick
