TerrySVR Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Like most of us I have recently ripped up my layout to "Start again" does anyone have a track plan for a Sourten Terminus with associated yards including a Fish Dock to fit in 8ft by 2.5ft. Any sensible suggestions appreciated. Thanks in anticipation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercider Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 To help suggestions, what scale are you working in? Also does that area include your fiddle yard? There are a few Southern based layout threads on here influenced by Padstow, have you found any of them? cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted September 6, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 6, 2013 Click the "Beer and Branscombe" link in my sig below to see the latest images of track down for a modest SR-themed (but fictitious) track plan including what could be a fish dock. It's a bit longer than 8' but would give you some idea ..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZ Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I would look at Padstow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

john flann Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 You have many to choose from on here. Why not look? For example, the LH 8'0 end of Hintock would I suggest, do you very well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerrySVR Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Having looked there was nothing that fitted the critque set out hence the question Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Bedding Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Having looked there was nothing that fitted the critque set out hence the question Hi I had a similar requirement, so I compressed the Padstow track plan into the space available. It works for me, and I would make the same choice again if needed. Track is Code100 (because that is what I had), but Code 75 would be just as acceptable. Points are Peco Insulfrog, because I loathe droppers. Only one loco (an 0-4-4T)has difficulty with the plastic frogs, but when operating with a train the momentum pushes it through the frog. Power is from a ZTC 505. All my other locos are modern, and are wired for 3 or more axles. I have used the fish dock siding as a general freight siding, and the last 15" or so is wired as a programming section. Easy manual access. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerrySVR Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Thanks Peter I think I will go with a condensed version of Padstow with higher level station behind it. Thanks for the helpful comments everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
