Hi again,
just another update to the layout, i have a bit of time looking and thinking about the layout and wasn't happy with how it was looking or the running of the locos so i have made further changes.....

basically i pulled up all of the track and started over, i wasn't happy with the baseboards either so i gave them a bit of a touch up, firstly there was two parts were the track left the main area to run around the loft on the left and right, this caused a lot of running issues especially with coaches as the up and down movements made them de-rail or uncouple, so now there is a nice flat transition from ply base board to timber

I have also decided to run a third line to run around the entire loft, i haven't managed to install the boards for this area yet but is definitely in the pipe line, my previous thoughts for a branch line to join to the main line off scene but this limited running of trains around the layout waiting for a dmu or 153 to make a full circuit.

ive attached the current layout plan, please post comments and suggestions, would really help me,

the branch line will be the top line of track coming from the 3-way point

the line below that will be for a small TMD, with works shed, wash down and re fueling point.

on the other side the bottom line that runs past the terminus station is the access for the fiddle yard, i was planning to put this the opposite side of the loft but having all the points were i cant see or access very easily due to life stock kept in the attic i thought it would be easier, please it makes a nice scene of trains leaving and then a different train re-entering.

thanks for reading, any comments and suggestion appreciated.
