Not making much progress with Lay-out in the garage due to cold weather and ill health so having seen one of the fiddle yard boards from the now defunct US Monon layout Vimes Street decided to have a go at creating a small layout that could be set up quickly and inside the house.
board measures 9 in by 48 in and will be connected to simple cassettes made for a past layout.
The time period selected uses some steam locos and early BR diesels i have in the collection and uses existing rolling stock.
simple plan
A connects to lines on BR and served via cassettes
B is the scenic board with a refuge siding and two storage sidings which serve industries off at D. The main industries is a small glass works and metal box company. As such represents industry around the Barnsley area which had small glassworks. The metal box factory was a former WW1 munitions site which converted into making many different decorative designs for biscuits, sweets etc. The refuge siding is used to store traffic for a small off site gas works.
C is the line continuing onto other off scene industries as well as other lines.
exit off to A hidden by brick plinth bridge with plate girder sides.
exit to C via a short span bridge more of alley walkway rather than road bridge,
small brick Signal box will be used that did not get on another layout.
back scene brick embankment with representation of ends oh houses .
idea is to use up as much as possible materials already in store and designed to get something running.
points are to be operated by simple slide switch.
wired up this morning and all lines worked!
need to construct the two fiddle boards to hold the cassettes.
