      @amdaley - I can see that you had to leave room in your cork ballast for the uncoupler disc. Did you have to cut a hole in the baseboard as well or was the depth of "ballast" enough to sink it under the track? Thanks for sharing, an interesting method.

      Thanks Paul - have always seen it as a bit of fun, so keep telling myself not to get too precious and there are plenty of other projects in the pipeline.  Equally, one of the many joys of this forum is how endlessly helpful folk are. Advice and info are always appreciated and every bit as much as kind comments.

      One thing you'll note (and as seen on Connafeld already) is that in mainland Europe, actual goods sidings as such were much less common than here or Britain - instead loops rather than sidings were a lot more common. Not an exact science, of course, but certainly in through stations a great deal more common. I think "Connafurt" or possibly better, "Konnafurt", sounds best of the ones you mentioned. I think these days I'd avoid anything ending in "-stein"!

      Worryingly, a ferkeltaxi would probably be the prototypical passenger train for your branch line!
