With the weekend at hand and nothing much to do, I decided to rip up my aborted Weymouth 'plank' layout, simplified the track plan and came up with a 5 feet long micro layout.

There is still a lot of the Weymouth idea in this, but its a simple island platform station with a hidden run off, just enough to shunt some DMUs about. A couple of sidings in the front will add to the fun, and there's plenty of room for a decent station car park and road scene.

All the building shapes are just mock ups for the moment, and I'm not sure how far I will take this, or how detailed it will become - its just nice to do something with all the leftover track I had from Ring Road!

This is a general shot, there will be a low embankment at the back, with probably scalescenes half-relief terraced houses behind the station.

The off-scene cut will be hidden by a long pedestrian footbridge with ramps at the end to get down to the road. On the embankment will be a sports centre/swimming pool, so the bridge is a route over the tracks to that part of town

Mock up station very heavily based on Weymouth! In front of the tracks will be the station car park and the road running along the length of the board. There's room for some nice PW stuff here too, so possibly some portakabins etc
