Great layout Paddy, I'm following for more info. I'm intrigued by your ballasting method using grout, any more details ?

Regards

This looks interesting so I'll be following. That's a big turntable for such a station, I presume it's the Peco one. A 45' one would look much better, I think someone does one but there are expensive. You could turn engines "off scene" and use the siding for the engine shed. Looking at the platform and loops trains will be short so small engines would look better.

Catch points are used to prevent runaway wagons fouling the main line, you have two headshunts which would perform the same function for three out of four loops so only the line running into the platform would need one.

Good luck with the project,

Tom
