The OO Sound Plank


bmthtrains - David

317 views

I've come up with 2 versions of a small 6ft by 1ft shunting plank (with a 3ft run off board), just so I'll have somewhere to run what will be a very small range of OO stock. At the moment, from what is available or has been announced, the stock line up will eventually become thus:

 

Class 37 Railfreight - Sound

Class 08 EWS - Sound

MPV

Class 31 Sound

 

I may possibly add something like a 121 bubble car or a 108 on NSE livery.

 

Rolling stock will be a couple Autoballasters, some Seacows and some general civils liveried wagons.

 

Plan a)

This has one line coming in, a couple of sidings and a 2 road shed

 

Plan b)

This version is as above, but one of the shed roads is now another through road, with an extra siding leading into a single road shef through a washing plant.

 

Neither will be especially prototypical, and not very heavily modelled, as its more to have options to run the locos backwards and forwards.

 

(EDIT: thought up a hybrid version that might work better?)

I like version b as it has more track, but possibly a looks better?

 

Any thoughts much appreciated!

Personally David i like plan b. tho i think i'd maybe use a couple of three way points to increase the headshunt on the left hand side.

No run around?

It's your layout - what do you intend to use it for? I suspect 1 is a little cliched, so perhaps I'd got for the second or third?

I've the Bachmann 37 - it's excellent! :)
