Attic Layout in OO

[DomDulley]

Work has commenced on a smallish (6' x 3') layout in the corner of my attic. A single track will run around the attic walls, splitting into two lines in the scenic area to represent a main line (probably Exeter to Plymouth), which will allow me to run longer trains in a continuous loop.

 

The scenic area will feature mainline platforms, a goods shed and cattle dock, together with a branch terminus with a small engine shed and limited MPD facilities. It is perhaps unusual in having a thumping great turntable as well, but I want it so that's all I have to say about that 😃 

 

Anyway, here is the current track plan and I would welcome any comments or suggestions. Red lines are baseboard edges and green scenic breaks.

 

Thanks!

Clarification

After seeing plans of the old Princetown station on Dartmoor I've tweaked the track plan so that the branch line terminus is similar in design. The up and down main lines still run between the scenic breaks, and everything joins up 'off scene' to a single track running around the attic walls.

 

 

The main loop is in place now and I am about to start work on the main scenic area. The whole thing is a mess at the moment!
