Thanks folks for the comments and suggestions. Harlequin, I think I might actually consider the loop going off scene particularly if it allows more scenic space. The settrack situation is more a budget thing at the moment given this is the first attempt in a long time, but we are looking at going down the streamline route. Although I’ll have to do my research into building a moving cassette.
CameronL, the plan at the moment is to use trees as an off scene vision blocker. The area itself from what I’ve seen in photos looks very picturesque, woodland hills etc. I did read on one source, that a major reason for not extending the line beyond Newcastle Emlyn was that it had become recognised as an area of natural beauty.
I’ll rework my track plan a bit in regards to goods yard scenario . Thanks also ThomasG for the input, I was wondering where I could put a coalbunker.
Just one question and excuse my ignorance here. Would extending the loop out of vision mean removing the semaphore signal? Would like to include one but not veer too far from reality. As I said placement of signals and such things isn’t a strong point of mine.
Thanks again
Ian
