... like to hear their comments. 3181_141308_360000000.png There is still some work to do to finish the plan. The 3-way into the yard needs finishing but I have still to lay out one of the sidings before doing so. Over on the left hand end are three curves, the outer is a siding, the middle curve the mainline and the inner curve is actually a loop. I have had to finish the inner loop inside the F/Y as there wasn't room for the complete length within the scenic boundary. A catchpoint also needs installing in the top end of the loop. Due to the tight curvature of these curves the turnouts have had to be made quite long to ease their minimum radius. I have planned to install two sector tables in the F/Y as there isn't much length to have a fan of sidings. This doesn't look pretty and has meant installing quite an abnormal crossing which is something I need to try and complete.

I trimmed them back looking at photos of the prototype- one of them was a weighted points to protect against wrong line run away on a falling gradient- I presume the lever would have "bounced" every time an axle went through it in the normal direction? cheers Richard 1763_231727_350000000.jpg posted: 25 Jul 2018 21:41 from: ScottW Thanks, Richard for sharing your ...
