<p>I'm at it again, lots of thought has been given to operating a small layout in an interesting way. Although Inglenooks please many builders, I am determined to have a loop for shunting wagons. My latest plan is attached and was easily created with Anyrail software. I also have a photo of progress to-date. Essentially there is a single running line, a loop and 3 sidings (coal or special wagons), arrivals to the store and a departures/storage siding.</p><p> </p><p>

</p><p> </p><p>

Part of the thinking is to operate with small locos plus 3 or 4 wagons and use 'scenic' fiddlesticks (ground textures and backscene) to allow the use of longer locos when space permits. Currently my effort is concentrating on the loop and points. They've been assembled with rail joiners and lightly soldered, I'm trying to decide if re-spacing sleepers on the plain track is worthwhile.<br />All comments welcomed</p><p> </p><p>
