I was a little rushed yesterday so here is a bit more explanation of the small intermediate layout.

Period is Isle of Wight roughly 1930s but could be later BR steam or imaginary 1980s diesel inspired by island line.

There is a 2 road fiddle yard on a traverser, that also includes points for a quick run round. The plan is that the scenic break of a chalk down tunnel hides this. The fiddle yard is large enough for loco + 1 coach or loco + 3 wagons + brake van.

The tunnel exit leads into station with run round loop. The right hand tunnel entrance is for a head shunt and access to the chalk quarry.

My hope is to build a small low relief station building maybe like Shide. 

The run round loop includes a siding with a small hard standing for goods unloading. Next to this is a headshunt  that leads to 2 long sidings parallel to the yard. I plan to have an industrial workshop building on one siding. It is cut into the side of the old chalk workings so then forms part of the scenic break. The type of workshop that has seen or can be for a variety of purposes.

It certainly isn't a real location, and certainly isn't prototypical, however it will allow me to run locos and practise building techniques for a larger layout. 

I mocked up the scenic structures in scrap card. Hopefully over the next week there will be running engines.
