kevblokey Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 So, this engineers spur, do I go north of the running line or south of it? Opinions welcome. Kevblokey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
royaloak Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I would say North because you already have access to the platform so it would be sensible to extend that access to the siding, but (dont you just love a but) you could put it to the South and then have a level crossing/user worked crossing to provide access. I am sure there are many real examples whichever way you decide to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, as you say, foot/vehiclular access is certainly easier from the platform area, so I reckon North it'll be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevblokey Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 I always knew this spare 6' x 1' board would come in useful for something... Kevblokey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevblokey Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 I know i'm doing this the wrong way round, but I have just had this delight turn up, measuring about 2' 6" long, At least the sign for the layout is done! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I’m a northern monkey myself but I think all that stock already in your possession means a move oop north would be a bit silly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisoafc Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hello! I am in awe of the original St Jude and it's transformation etc. There is something special and unique about SLT layouts that I just love. Simple, yet perfect for attention to detail, which I must say you have achieved. I have a SLT layout myself which is simply a small halt, with a country road running behind the end of the platform, a permanent way hut and a river scene. I shall have to dig it out and do some work on it as seeing St Jude again has reinspired me! I have been concentrating on my new larger layout of Diggle Junction but I shall change focus again back to my SLT layout and hopefully get it as good as St Jude!
