The micro layouts of Jerry1975

Sounds like a good idea. Almosta Yard  

 

Same period?

Hi Everyone. 

 

Here is a first mock-up of the layout:

 

 

The time period will be the same,  sort of 50s to 60s.

 

This is only a first mock-up so I may change things about etc. 

 

Any ideas anyone may have will be welcome.

Hi Jerry, that looks good, nicely balanced.

 

The short sidings on micros are always a bit of a dilemma for me. I've sometimes wondered if it is better to simply leave off the stops and bring the track right to edge of the baseboard. That way, you can say that the sidings continue beoynd the baseboard and so are not as short as they seem. Trouble is, sidings without stops provide a major operational risk . One option could be to have a bit of wire sticking out at the end of each siding to stop wagons from going over the edge. Anyway, I'm rambling on, you probably have your own ideas.

Hi Mikkel. 

 

I'm thinking of just modelling the first part of the buffer stops or maybe an old sleeper across the end of the track. 

 

Hardlia yard mk2 will eventually join more modules to make a larger layout but that's for the future. 

 

Tonight will see more work on the layout and hopefully track laid.

 

More soon. 

 

Jerry. 

Nice solution Jerry, looking forward to seeing it develop.
