Watching the video Nick I noticed that in course of shunting you had to move the coal wagons and return them and this, of course, is because of the placement of the coal depot at the front end of the siding rather than the more customary back end.
However, I suggest that.if you had a trailing or facing siding to serve the coal depot the unloading of the wagons could carry on unimpaired other than when the coal siding itself was being shunted. More prototypical, I think you will find.
There would seem to be room to enable this to be done without detriment to MM as a whole and the cameo. Personally I think it would enhance the layout and make shunting more straightforward. It was usually done against the clock and this seems an unnecessary complication..
You will re-call we did discuss this earlier but seeing the video brought it home again.
Any more thoughts on the matter?
