I have recently built two 7' x 2' boards for a portable end to end city terminus layout which can be stored or taken to shows. I've had a few goes at drawing out a track plan on SCARM.
My Criteria:
City location
At least 3 platforms
A station pilot siding
At least 2 carriage sidings
A small loco depot with turntable
A 5 road fiddle yard
Trains at least 4 Mk1s long
What I came up with is on this word document. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. The one piece of track exiting the tunnel into the fiddle yard is a sector plate which rotates to link to the 5 line behind which need to be bent slightly at the ends to line up with the arc.
