Interesting: I notice that the layout's builder has made the platform curved where RCLs plan was straight. Not sure whether this adds to or detracts from the layout to be honest; I liked the similarity of the bridge/platform/small yard to, for example, Fairford. The photos show that it could definitely use more width in the goods yard area (especially using that Prototype goods shed) but I suppose the point of the original article was that it's better to have a compromised layout than none at all. Maybe one of these decades I will have a stab at it myself, just don't hold your breath!
