Blog- Sutton Dock - Trackplan


Recommended Posts

With the available space I have (roughly 150cm x 60cm) I have come up with the following trackplan. I have tried to keep the plan simple and not too cluttered with tracks. There will be some sort of fiddle yard off to the RHS. There is no run-round loop (only a half one) - any run round move will need the fiddle yard.<br /><br /><br /><br />Its based on various parts of Brentford Dock and in particular 3 features. The first is the large covered transfer shed, the second the unusual shaped storage shed that protrudes over the water and finally a loading platform. The aim it to put the storage shed at the left hand end with the covered dock at the right hand end (a reverse of Brentford). The aim is to look into the covered dock as if you were on the other side of the waterway. So the building will be sectioned down the middle (ambitious I know!). Another problem is that the original Brunel wooden transfer shed burnt down in the 1920s and to date I have only one picture taken from a long distance!<br /><br /><br /><br />The storage shed can be seen in the distance.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Loading dock - I like this picture although taken many years later than my period.
