flexible_coupling Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Are you particularly opposed to the idea of using a traverser in your fiddle-yard? You're on a good thing with your design, but I think you could simplify things to the right-hand-side by simulating that last ladder crossover (imagining it off-scene) with the use of a traverser, as the likes of Reely Grate put to good effect. Saving the cost of two turnouts will no-doubt help. I fancy a set of coal staithes in the general location of "Office" would add another nice and logical 'traffic inbound' too...

bike2steam Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Ah, not a rural setting, pity, for something completely different, Edge Hill Light Railway, the locos ( 2 ex LBSCR Terriers) was used to shunt the sidings at the bottom of the steep rope worked incline of an iron-ore quarry railway system. http://www.warwickshirerailways.com/misc/ehlr.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartleymartin Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm really liking that plan now. Looks like you'll be able to have plenty of fun with operations. If you have more space off to to left, make provision for another off-scene area on that side. The dead-end to the top left could in future become an extension to an industrial line such as a gasworks or mine bringing in goods to connect with the light railway and transfer to the mainline. It's just a future possibility that you may want to make provision for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
