Inglenook 4x1 OO Gauge

[Phaeton]

I started to put together an N gauge on a 4x2 but after getting it setup I couldn't get on with n gauge so sold it all again at a good loss.

 

I then decided I would go down the OO route on an Inglenook on a 4x1 board. I have laid out the below track, it is intended to have an engine shed where the 2 loco's are placed. May main concern is how far from the front edge should I lay the first row of track, I do want to do some scenery so wonder where it's best to lay the track?

Nice start. A very interesting shunting layout (hope that helps): Pickwick Yard

Very interesting project. What is that electronic device ? Thanks.

It's a Capacity Discharge Unit for the point motors, when I eventually decide to get around to fitting them, but go to decide if the layout is right first, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RKcdu1-2x-4700uF-Dual-Capacitor-Discharge-Unit-CDU-Hornby-Seep-PECO-Points-Motor/182307855737?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Looks like a good start so far, however if your after a bit of a challenge and to keep you amused before you glue the track then how about changing your plan a bit.

 

I would change the track to have more of a shunting challenge with maybe 5 or 6 sidings instead of the 3 you currently have.

 

You could look at maybe modeling a clay / cement factory or somthing else.

 

Here is somthing to help with your imagination.
