Kirley Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It's a great feeling starting a new layout especially having an previous one and now you know all the things not to do. Having good track is worth the extra investment to get smooth running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenderg Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 It looks like theres a fair bit of shunting required to get from the outside lines into the goods area. Perhaps consider integrating the loops into those areas so you can maneuver from the outside track into the goods area and then do all your shunting in there, freeing up the main lines for continous running? A photo showing both areas zoomed out would be really helpful, even if you only have track plonked down roughly. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Did some drawing today not really to scale.i am wide open to ideas and criticism[ATTACH=CONFIG]18649[/ATTACH]sorry bout the bad photo Hi GSR, I can't really make out your drawing all that well and no expert so throw this 'advice' out if it makes no sense. Access from the inner inner loop to the outer platforms seems restricted unless you reverse the crossover or add another crossover in that direction. Maybe consider replacing the diamond crossing with a single slip if you reverse the crossing? What ever is on the bottom right ?good/carriages shed has limited access from the inner platforms. If this is required then maybe think of running this out of platform 3 (instead of 1&2, if you have sufficient length) and use another single slip to allow access from Plat 1&2 to it?

GSR 800 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Quick update.Cant seem to upload the pics.scratch built platforms and engine shed under construction. Once I have all the track laid I will start putting down the ballast.A through station will now be opposite the terminus while the shed and sidings will be between them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR 800 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 So haven't posted in a while so let me fill you in. The track plan is finalised, the terminus is now facing the other way so less shunting is required. A extension board will be placed so there is more space for the turntable and a goods yard, adjacent to the will be some carriage sidings. P.S. I will try and get pics shortly but I can't really get the tablet to upload them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSR 800 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 Well lads,I bought some things while at the SDMRC yesterday. Most of the budget went to locos.for a long time I've been wanting to get one of MR Murphys work. I finally got it today with number 073. Fantastic loco. Great runner detail is just brilliant. I also bought a silver fox A class in green. Holy Sambo it is heavy! Reasonably good runner, but very noisy compared with the 071 class! Also bought an N class mogul, which I plan to convert to a woolwich. Will post pics shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
