I think it would be better as a 4ft module of just the station throat as seen in the pic, and as a through station with a fiddle yard the other side of an oval. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering how much of Baker Street was still a terminus in 1938? But it's certainly an iconic location. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold simon b Posted October 11, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) The outer platforms are terminating platforms, the inner pair are through lines. There is also the Chiltern court siding, a loco spur outside the signal box that isnt shown on the map, and a pair of loops further out.

Nearholmer Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) Snipped from the superb 1933 plan of the entire Met on Harsig’s website. It’s a masterpiece of design, cramming so many possible parallel moves into such a difficult location. This is Minories on Acid.
