  1. Could you not shuffle things around a bit at the steam end and do something like this at Leamington Spa. From - https://www.warwickshirerailways.com/gwr/gwrls2200.htm
  2. That's a very similar plan to my small layout, Lowry Lane. Mine is 4 feet by 18 inches with built in Inglenook puzzle and kick back siding for a factory/mill facility, peco code 100 track with medium radius points and a three way. I haven't added any cassettes or fiddle yard(s) [yet] but plenty of time can be spent shunting as it is. Have fun with your build

  5. You could use aluminum angle in a way similar to folk making cassettes
  6. With regards to "Currently deciding which to attempt first out of signal installation, rail painting or ballasting. ". My layout is at the "track laid and electrics installed" stage, whilst I am doing lots of running to iron out any track or electrical problems I have been painting the rails. I figured if I had to lift anything to fix a problem then it wouldn't be a job wasted. I don't have any signals planned at the moment, but if I did then I would install those before ballasting.
  7. I have a similar track plan and highish density of buildings in a small space 48" x 18" , a bit larger than your new layout. The sidings and head shunts comply with an "Inglenook". I do not yet have any fiddle yard but can shunt quite happily without.
  8. The November 2021 issue of BRM does not appear to be available on Readly, the last edition I can see is October. Is it no longer going to be provided on that platform (pun intended) ?
  9. I agree with the alignment comment. Slackening the screws holding the point motor to the baseboard slightly so the seep has a bit of play in it may help.
  10. The 64' stock is all I could find on Anyrail User Objects, it would be better to use 57' passenger stock, Railcars and Autocoaches (of course the OP doesn't tell us the period). The amount of stock shown on the plan is simply to help visualise the space. A single siding could be brought off the loop entrance for some additional storage, an engine shed could be a kick back off that siding as seen at Shipston on Stour - https://www.warwickshirerailways.com/gwr/gwrss3104.htm Maybe something like this .... (not sure what has happened to the geometry, maybe something is not quite straight) ( I really ought to get on with some work! )
  11. If you swapped the points at the entrance to the station you may just be able to run round two MK 1 coaches. Shifting the plan so the first point is closer to the edge you get more space for the station building
  12. Something like this may work, it might be a bit cramped. Board is 54" x 12 ", some fiddling around may be required to get clearances correct Medium, code 100 Peco streamline points. Station building, Signal box and Goods Shed are Metcalfe. Engine Shed is Dapol. Water crane is Hornby Mk1 coach in the bay platform Jinty at the 'depot' Pannier running round a guards van
  13. Just wanted to round this topic off with an update. The power supply I am using is an HP one from an old laptop so my guess is that it is suitably regulated. The power supply is working and I see no side effects on the DR4018. Setting up a small route in JMRI to switch crossovers works well with the default delay of 250ms between triggering outputs. Thanks again for the help.
