I am desperate, I am practising building in P4, meanwhile I have just got to get something running, I've drooled over the sublime Shell Island, the wagon sidings on Canada Road, the running of trains on Abbotswood Jct. and the magic of Frampton. I've drawn inspiration from the atmospheric Cardiff photos of BR2975 (Thanks for sharing) Roath Goods and Bracty Bridge. So, I've set the scene and drawn a trackplan on Anyrail, the operation would involve cassettes at each end, probably longer than the micro, with the rear siding shunted by invisible locos (heard but never seen) and trains emerging from the front siding when given the road to cross the bridge and traffic on the running line in both directions. Now I could do with some feedback, I'd like to add a semaphore for the exit from the siding, but being realistic it would be off-scene to the left. I've had one bit of input that said simply " can you make it smaller?" Well thinking about it today I reckon I can, the sidings at the back can be closer than prototype and the terraces can be singles tucked right in at the bottom of the embankment and if I change the tall town pub for a corner shop then the embankment doesn't need to be so high and the bridge will be low but with the road dipping underneath. Thanks for any comments
