Well having had chance for a better look, the second fiddle yard is not really a possibility, as there is too much woodwork from the loft supports in the way! As I am going to be away again for the next ten weeks, I have time to have a re-think about how I am going to run trains at this end of the layout, as I don't want to do a complete rebuild, or at least not yet!
Not much progress to report, as I just haven't had the time. Hopefully in the summer things will be different.
