Thanks for the feedback all. A view blocker was an objective for this. Not sure I have space for a trailing connection / turntable but it's got me thinking. Thanks. That might work, I'll have look into it. And a railway line just for a pub? That could make a fun, interesting, little layout one day. Thanks for the clarification, very useful! I was hoping there might be a minor line somewhere that had a shed on the line; a small halt with a goods shed but a loading area might work too. Thanks all, very helpful replies!

Hi all, long time lurker and complete beginner so please be gentle I'm, very slowly, building my first layout. It's a single line OO gauge GWT layout running along a shelf. I was thinking of a yard/sidings at one end with line leading from that across the rest of the layout before existing to a hidden fiddle yard at the other end, I'd like to have some kind of activity on the line before it disappears and was thinking of a goods yard. Something like this: [hidden fiddle yard]-------------- Goods Shed --------------<=== two lines being a siding. I know it's not much of a layout but I purposely want to keep the track work simple as I'm more into scenery modelling. My question is did goods shed ever live on a through (running?) line, with the trains stopping, unloading and carrying on their way up/down the line or did they only ever live in sidings? Thoughts/suggestions appreciated and forgive me if I'm being stupid. Paul
