There does seem to be a lot of disc signals in the sidings area that I think are unnecessary. The drawing also seems to be a bit cluttered with other details (e.g. peco track details) that are a bit of a distraction. Any chance of providing a "straight line" type drawing (like a signal box diagram) that would show the signal positions a bit clearer? Totally understand if this is not possible.

Thanks for the response.  You're right, my screen shot of the plan is unclear. I've attached a schematic that I'm using for the point control board for the scenic section.  The layout is a roundy and where the running and branch lines finish on the schematic is off scene into an upper and lower fiddle yard. Hopefully this makes things a bit clearer!

Hi Everyone,

It's been a while since I've posted but I have been working on my layout for a while now.  I'm at a point where after reading online on how signalling works I've drew together a plan based I what I've read.  I'm would respectfully like to ask for comments on whether my diagram stacks up in terms of whether this looks correct.  I'm more confident with the main line signalling than the discs!

All constructive feedback is welcome, thanks in advance!

Cheers

Bryant

This is a rough room layout which shows my current desk which is small but works well.

 

The baseboards are 3000x800mm on the sides and 1100x900 mm at the ends this give a 1200x1100 mm operating space

Here's something I knocked up just to give an idea what could be placed in your layout area.  It's essentially a double track with a passing loop, a small engine shed twin line with a spare siding, plus a small goods yard and a parcels bay.  The scenic break is the orange thick lines and you should be able to have 4 fiddle yard lines per running line.  Hope that helps, I've also attached the xtrackcad file if you wish to modify it.

Shouldn't the taxi be an audi?
