The proposed amendments make total sense, and I do agree about the too many locos syndrome, having looked more into it it's hard to see a realistic prototype with the track layout as drawn up. There are a couple of other plans of a similar vein e.g Shadwell Basin in designs for urban layouts that could be interesting to build

You're right, the double slip is the item most putting me off given lack of experience in track building. I don't think the plan could be easily change to remove it without a good deal of loss of operation potential

Lost access to the email of my last account, 'rally', so after a long hiatus I am back to modelling! For my first foray back into layouts, I am looking at building an EM gauge version of the above plan. I am interested in people's thoughts as to whether its a realistic plan to attempt in a reasonable timeframe. Thinking of setting it in 60/70s Birkenhead area so Class 03/08 all in a run down kind of setting Thanks
