Bodmin General(ish)

Been given a copy of Bodmin (historic) station plan, which is a great help

Obviously similar but not quite the same as today's layout, but then I am not copying it. Thrown a spanner in the works as I was going to start the right hand turnout, still have visitors coming to see us tomorrow so my plan of having Thursday as my modelling day has not even lasted the first week

Close up of the engine shed area, the trap points are after the turnout not in it. However the I have the area the track is in. Will go for the modern layout with double engine shed rather than a single one with a carriage siding

 

Looking at the plan getting from the station building to the bridge is between 12' and 13', that will be the length of my railway room, so there will need to be some form of compression, part of the station building low relief, shorten the gap between the turnouts and shed. Also shorten the distance between the end of the shed and the junction, bring the bridge a bit closer, curve the track more on the Parkway route, loose 6" on the platform length. Still none of this alters the cameo
