Old New Trackplan

Here's the old trackplan I unearthed - done in MS Paint about 7 years ago so not to scale (or even close!):

This is after some fiddling about; on a previous plan the engine shed was accessed via the turntable alone...still doesn't seem right though...I dunno, maybe 12' x 2' in 2mm would do it...?

The premise is that this is a station in a small/medium town having been closed and now revitalised by a Heritage railway group for preservation...the goods shed and coaling stage could be used as workshops for the group or even as a modern demo of "days gone" or something...

I've always liked preserved lines, especially as I've spent quite a bit of time (and money!!) at Llangollen and Haworth over the years...

 

Opinions/Constructive criticisms welcome !!

If it's a preserved line go for a single track, I would consider putting in some form of coach siding as well.

Hmmm, ok so putting the carriage sidings in place of the goods shed etc. seems logical...

 

How's this for a thought:

The preserved line shares the station with current operations; DMU's on the nearest platform, Black 5's on the other...??!!

Then you could have the two lines running in - one for current, one for preserved, maybe fenced off or delineated in some way,

or - would they be ok to share the lines?? It could be a junction of the two...??
