Hi Paul.

Not sure if this is the sort of thing you were looking for. Diagram of Gort which is under construction at the moment

Initially it'll be an end to end shunting layout for loose coupled 2 axle goods wagons, inspired by JHB's book  "rails through the west"

Photo courtesy JHB. I've added a heat shunt to the goods yard in case the layout ever grows legs with a continuous loop so shunting can carry on while trains pass through the station.

When Gort is finished, I look forward to Noel’s short videos of trains running on it. It is just the right size to demonstrate to the younger ones how our railways used to operate, all the whys and wherefores of the shunting that used to take place.
