Hi Folks You may remember I designed a large Swiss layout in P87 a few months back. Well I decided it had grown too extravagant and too much space was given over to the station platforms and were essentially wasted space (they would have been 15 feet long). It seemed to me a better idea would be to have the platforms at least partially hidden under a train shed on a curve which would mean I wouldn't need to model their entire length. This was an idea I first saw on Chris Pendleton's layout "Kirkwhelpington" at Model Rail 78 in Glasgow. (That layout was the inspiration that got me into finescale (P4) modelling in the first place). The hidden parts on the curve would be the tail end of the fiddle yard and the space outside the train shed put to use on track that would be used to "watch the trains go by". The result is this partially finished modification of Lausanne station. It has everything I want, lots of track, carriage sidings and a locomotive depot. I got the track plan from Google Earth although they seem to have reduced the resolution to a useless level recently. I'm glad I took screen dumps of the station layout before the picture quality dropped. Alan McMillan |
