RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted September 2, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 2, 2011 With my limited, but growing, knowledge, I *think* you will need a run round loop, off the platform line, I've not seen any which don't have this, but like I say, I'm only just getting to grips with the area.

Loch Ectary1 Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Thanks for the advice- my scenario is that they've recently taken the run- around out to cut costs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grovenor Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Thanks for the advice- my scenario is that they've recently taken the run- around out to cut costs. Then the loco shed would be disused as the service would just be DMUs and any signalling would likely have gone with the run round. But if the siding is in use at all it will still need a trap point to protect the running line. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsv1000r Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 may I suggest you loose the engine shed, replace with goods facilities, even after the introduction of the "basic" railway in east anglia in the sixties many places retained sidings for coal, sugarbeet,grain etc regards Nigel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Donw Posted September 8, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 8, 2011 If you are modelling a 'rationalised layout' you need to first imagine how it would have been then rationalised it. As Beast says a round round loop would have been there. If they round round was rationalised surely the engine shed would go too unless you model it 'out of use'. Perhaps if you specify the era you are modelling it would help. To my mind the modern East Anglian layout par excellance is Chris Turnbull's Cromer. Very simple and most atmospheric.

Have a look at Aldeburgh - I can do some simple sketches for you if you like ? http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/a/aldeburgh/index.shtml Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWSlack Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Signalling Help Needed for a Small East Anglian Terminus. Hello! I was wondering whether anybody could help me with signalling for a small east anglian terminus- the track plan is attached! Thanks, LochEctary1 With such little track remaining there wouldn't be any need for any were the line to be worked One Engine In Steam/One Train Working. The points would be connected to a ground frame, locked via an Annet's Key attached tot he train staff. However, there wouldn't be any need for any sidings or a loco shed at this terminus, as others above have already pointed out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
