Popular Post Alex_Clements@KX Posted April 3, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Started 30 years ago, the Kings Cross Layout has become one of the most complicated operating loft layouts around. Based on Kings Cross Station in the mid 50' to mid 60's it has a wide range of stock and long running lines. 5 to 6 operators are needed to run the layout which has two loco sheds, carriage sidings, 15 Platforms, milk depot and a diesel depot. The Lines to Mooregate are also on the layout as can be seen in the track plans below. Links to view the layout in action on running sessions. I will hopefuly be posting progress on the layout as projects progress. The engine shed is the current project which is being remodeled to fit a new diesel depot on it.

LNERGE Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 The station control panel is an elections nightmare. My lesson has been to have accurate design and installation records for everything i do in 4mm to the foot and 12 inch to the foot. Complicated doesn't matter then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
