A 00 industrial shunting micro for beginners

[Nearholmer]

Yes, when I dragged tipplers into the conversation, it wasn’t with the idea of an entirely coal-centric scene, I was suggesting a tippler to supply coal (or something else) to an industry which sent out finished product from another road.

The latest Rapido announcements got me thinking about the Par harbour railway, and how you could condense it into a layout. I have done some doodling in my modelling journal and have come up with this -  

A - the tiny engine shed with 90 degree crossing in front.

B - an old warehouse, or disused building as seen in some photos.

C - the low bridge.

D - a more modern warehouse for the vans to be shunted in and out of.

E - quayside, with F a possible extension.

G - retaining wall or embankment.

H - mainline.

I - back scene. 
 

it’s a bit crude I know, and I have no idea how it would scale out. Let me know what you think!
