I'm beginning to think about building my first layout, it will be a small micro layout, possibly as large as 1100mm by 300mm. I have limited space and would like to build a neat unit that can contain the fiddle yard etc when packed away. I would like the layout whilst small in footprint to have depth in terms of height hence the canal and towpath in the plan, and what is envisaged as a series of tall warehouse (4 plus stories) buildings around.
The track plan is essentially two long sidings with a runaround and an additional siding (not sure if this is required) to that the layout can also be used as a classic inglenook. I wondered what others thought of this track plan, whether it needs adjustment? Whether this is not prototypical either?
I am imagining using a class 26 & class 08 on the layout, with the 26 brining in goods, using the run around, and an 08 shunting around goods vans, probably a mainly box vans, I am imagining this layout is set somewhere between the 70s to early 90s.
It's a fairly basic track plan drawing at the moment, i've discovered my 1/4 scale Hornby track pieces, the track will be peco not Hornby. I will when I have time update the plan with a better drawing,
Any help or thoughts on this would be very helpful.
