David Bell Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Enjoyed your video once again Mr P. It is all looking good. I would be inclined to put your depot where you have lifted the sidings rather than in the corner. A bit more room there. It is all personal choice of course. Cheers David 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMU carriage sidings where normally found at stations where trains terminate, so crews could arrive and leave by service train as necessary. There might also be a crew signing-on point. I can’t think of any that were out in the countryside. Even less likely now with EMUs normally going ecs from or to a proper depot. Most smaller sidings/signing on points have now closed. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree, but don't forget, this is ME, and Rule 1 applies everywhere, like the 3rd Rail etc. 3rd Rail Terminates at Bute Road. I haven't finished it yet, still needs Buildings, Office, Porta Cabins, Loo, Fencing, People, Vehicles and the Rest of the Tracks laid.

woodenhead Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 That revision makes sense, I saw the units sat in the single ended roads of the fiddleyard and thought, the only place they can go is the yard or trundle just into view at the station. Then you had that vast expanse of emptiness with a headshunt on the main board that was crying out for sidings, presuming these are for the PW wagons again. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
