Rationalised track layouts

[NIR]

I like rationalised track layouts, not the brutal remodellings but the gentler renewals that leave subtle hints of a former layout.

Abrupt transitions

Straightlined turnouts (x2)

Undulating loops

Resignalled with ground position lights and stop boards these remnants add character and history to an otherwise dreary network.

Spindly, wonky, unexplained... as characteristic of its time as the diamond crossing or the goods loop and something we should capture while we still can.

Any more? The no headshunt, the widely-splayed stub, the fan of one sidings...
