LNER4479 Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 Grand Junction will be controlled remotely from Bog Junction. Point position will be indicated and a certain amount of interlocking to avoid setting up illogical routes. That's part of what has clicked into place with the setting out of Bog Junction and thinking it through (in the bath) 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted October 17, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 17, 2020 The Citadel operator is going to have some difficulty if you are changing engine on northbound trains. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNER4479 Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 Yes Mike, that was always a 'issue to be resolved' with the plan as drawn. My solution is that the north end of Carlisle station will be assisted by operating position No.3 Shap Summit / Citadel North, working in conjunction with the principal Citadel operating position. As well as north end loco changes, there's also the north-facing bays (plats 7&8) which will be almost entirely for operator No.3 to do. Despite the apparent excitement / interest of driving trains towards Shap summit, I don't see that as a 'full on' operating position, so I think there'll be ample capacity for that operator to help out with Carlisle. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you just going to have to hurdle parts of the layout. With all the people offering to man tea & beer supplies you won't get thirsty jumping across the layout though there must be a few good reasons its not an ideal form of operating. Out of interest, are there routes on the plan that mean if you just want to set something running, watch trains go by and admire the world you have created, that can be done? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
