David,
Thoroughly enjoyed seeing Woodstowe at Ally Pally yesterday (Sunday).
The layout is fantastic, as others have said really captures the sleepy branch line atmosphere to a tee!
Congratulations on a fantastic layout, easily the best in show for my money.
Also very impressed with the operation of the layout, whilst I stood and watched (from the first train of the morning to the double headed goods) it never missed a beat, no "finger poking" to get things going, well done.
Thinking about the operation, I note you have devised the timetable and moves from the real Cardigan branch 1950's timetable.
Would you have time to share some more info about the operation, perhaps list your timetable (as displayed on the layout) with some additional operational notes.
I am currently building a home layout that includes a GWR branch station very like Woodstowe but am struggling to devise a (believable) and interesting timetable, any hints and tips regards your experience would be most welcome.
Once again well done for a fantastic layout and thanks so much for sharing the (excellent) photos on this forum.
Martin.
