Steam Rich

If you go for the top one with the loop and move the point for the first siding to the loop road immediately after the loop point, your siding can be as long but will shunt better. You could also extend the loop with the space saved.

Like this?

Hi all

I am just getting back into modelling after a few yeaars break.

Planning a small OO 4ft x 1ft western region steam micro.

Got a couple of OO tank locos, 2 mark 1 coaches and a pile of wagons along with 2 of each short left, short right, small wye points.

A quick play around today and I have come up with these 2 ideas.

First is a single track through station with station, coal yard (bottow leftt) and goods siding bottom right, The grey is a road,.  This will have a fiddle yard at both sides.

The other is similar but has two tracks off to the left to give a bigger loop to allow longer passenger train.  This can be a thorough station with a fiddle stick to the right or could be a terminus.

Any comments welcome

Clue:

Various varieties of black sheep can be found a few squares away from this one

I was going to post a clue, but have managed to forget where it was myself...

That makes it just north of Tamworth then...

Next:

Ah, thats Whiteley just SE of Alford - I've spend the night scanning scotland for that square and must have missed that area!

Next:

That makes it Brading on the isle of Wight then!

Next:

(Disused railway, top right of the square!)

That one will be Strathpeffer.

Next:

That one would be Achnasheen:

Next:

Ah, that will be between Conisbrough and Warmsworth then...

Next:

That would be Boghead:

Next:

That will be just north east of Invergordon.

Next:

That one is of Broome:

Next:

Thats the line between Burghead and Elgin... (and I got it before the clue!)

Next:

That will be the line around Braunston - I only got that quickly because I knew there is a tunnel on the canal there!

Next:

(Disused line top right)

Can we have a clue?

Next:

Wow, I got one! thats between Avonmouth and Bristol.. Sea Mills Station on the top right of the square -
