AndyB Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hi, Danfilm007, First of all welcome to the forum. Second is a technical question. Did you really mean "inches", or was this a typo and you can spare some more room? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katier Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 7x1 roughly matches my layout which is 8x2 narrowing to 1 plus fiddle yard.. but in 3mm/ft. So you'd fit the equivelent of 10.5 ft x 1.5 ft in the space you have. In simple terms that means the answer to your question is absolutely no problem at all. 3ft - station/goods 1ft - throat/scenic 3ft - fiddle yard (traverser for preference) Gives you room for 4 coach trains easily with 5 coaches being ok with the help of a station pilot. The only really noticeable difference to mine would be if your shunting a full train from one road to another (for example to release or to store the coaches in a carriage siding) the shunt would go into the fiddle yard, but nothing wrong with that. If you have room you could add interest with a double layer (seperated) layout. So the bottom (front) might be say a goods area while the top (rear) is passenger.

AndyB Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 For the modern day terminus you might look at a version of "the Minories". For the shunting aspect you might put a yard to the front and maybe weave it under the station throat? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
