That's only really required for through passenger workings. A freight from the right is easier than one from (or to) the left though.
-
The basic terminus (the basic single line terminus is just a special case of this) Needs a facing crossover to allow concurrent arrivals/departures and runaround, though their order could be reversed... ...to limit facing moves but I suspect it all comes down to whether you want to prioritise arrivals or departures when signalling an intense service.
-
That would be a facing crossover though, be cautious!
-
The basic single line terminus for passenger and freight is well understood - a loop and one siding - but what about the basic junction? Passenger bay with free running past but limitation getting a freight onto or off the branch.

Fix a pinpoint axle bearing in the hole -

More GM at 03:40 (then a very odd looking loco + railcar set) -

Yep https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uerdingen_railbus After a deep dive I'm imagining a Lebanese commuter/cement micro layout in HO with those peculiar French sleepers -

The ones that look like caravans, wtf?

Blue/grey stripe enterprise coaches interiors
NIR replied to PaulC's question in Questions & Answers
If you mean the early 80s grey with blue stripe then on a family photo the seats and partitions look dark blue and the tables and walls wood-effect brown. -
I know I would go straight to 21mm if flexi straights and two turnouts were available, that's just enough to create a prototypically Irish track layout of standard parts.

and a megapub for them all to get pissed up in after an all you can eat carvery and greenway experience

This is exactly the sort of thing I find hard to believe - these are the sort of numbers you might expect from a McDonalds! I hear the same sort of thing from people going on about surfing in Donegal...
-
Greenways, do they really produce €€€€ of revenue for local economies, I find that hard to believe. And let's not forget the last lot of unpleasantness with people fond of wearing too tight shorts.

Railwayana of a sort. A turntable/roundhouse arrangement uncovered at the old Birmingham Curzon Street station, could be nearly 200 years old
-
Main spares aren't going to fix something like that!
-
I'd have some of those for the to do pile.
-
Those early railcars look completely nuts.
-
Lots of photos of NIR 104 Class

The top and side grilles would be for the cooler group, the radiator basically, and the vents would be air intakes.
-
I love the essentially Irish trackplan - straight, standard turnouts, goods loop - made for modelling.
-
Well there is a big engineering overlap between trains, buses and planes...
-
How about a coach jacked up on three jacks that fell into an inspection pit, was crash repaired and no one noticed.

I remember the black crockery. Mesh-door fertilisers at 01:25 and 04:20 Bogie palvans (!?) at 03:00
