This is the current plan for my next project, I intend a double track Electrified main line, the bottom of the screen is a station with 3 platforms in use, the top line is access to the Depot and possible runround for platform 3, the line bottom right goes to my work bench, and the single line top left is a small station " town Branch", 00 gauge with a branch leaving to the fiddle yard,

Any input or critique is welcome, the blacklines are board edges/ joins

Could the Carriage sidings be accessed from the station without reversing? 

I do like that, looks better to me. 

Thanks

Looks good, I like the look of that,

Opens out, is in corner, takes about 1 foot off the corner (the garden room is 8 foot 2 internal with a 2 foot 2 "viewing area" the doorway covers the viewing area and about 1 foot of the layout, room not here yet so measurements are aprox 

I have recieved planning permission from the relevant authorities,  so a new project is in the planning stages, I have a "garden room" on order, and have a space of aprox 15' by 6', I model BR late 80s OO Gauge DCC, and have some overhead electric locos, also some shunters.

I would like a Fiddle yard and the suggestion of a station as the fy entrance at one end.

A depot or stabling point would be good also some work for shunters, a corner to the front right hand side may have to be left off for the door way, I don't have the woodwork skills for multiple levels, I have a full length MGR and 6 coach passenger trains would be adequate, what would you do with the space? 

I am sure I have read somewhere that two platforms were dual voltage switched over by the signaller 5 & 6 from memory

What about these tram lines next to Low Moor station West Yorkshire I believe were part of a failed transport museum the land was used as industrial for a while but now the building has been demolished and the tracks now stop where the building was.

Today I came across this one at Criccieth Station, just the one rail no sign of the other and only through the foot path

I have just tried this with a loksound decoder and 19 and 20 control the lights but the no 2 end lights are permanently lit I can't turn it off? It's ok if move it back it works with function 0 but not when plugged into CN2? 

It is on all the time wether the function is on or not

I have just fitted a Heljan class 26 with Legomanbiffo sound and lighting kit, but the tail lights at one end turn off when the train moves and back on when it stops. (Cab light)

Does anyone know what cvs to change to sort it out, 

Thanks in advance

Thanks, will look into that, how do you join locolifts? 

I was wondering what other people were doing for storing DMU s while not in use, I am thinking ot the Bachmann class 150s in particular as I don't fancy keep coupling  and uncoupling as the couplings seem like they could break easily? 

Long time no update but things are moving slowly along 

I bought some straight from Bachmann earlier this year

Lighting added to the signal box now

just seen on eBay NH Witch depot sticker

A few more photos :-) 

The yard pilot waits between duties 

The view from the platform.

Any comments welcome, thanks for looking :-) 

In the late 1980s there was a morning Colne - Manchester Victoria (0920 as I recall) and a return in the afternoon arriving back around 1530.

Can also add me as a happy customer, got some on my Oxford mk3 rake and some Bachmann Mk1s 

Latest bits of scenery, Lockdown progress continues

The rerailing train visits Logandale

Testing positions on the unloading area

The back of the wagon works

Blast progress

I thought that of the shop near the bridge and the Viaduct looking like Barmouth to my eye :-) 

I have seen pictures of in particular the Nuclear services on the North Wales coast that reverse at Llandudno junction with a Brake Van, I assume that the brake van would be shunted so it was always on the rear? 

I ask as it is a scenario I would like to replicate on my layout.

Thanks
