The track layout is as the plan though I'm still tweaking. Access to the parcels road (right) will need reversal into the FY which won't go down too well with Mr. Hill, but as I said, still tweaking. Track is standard code 75 - I've mostly moved over to this, but there is still some code 100 knocking about in the cupboard. The PG Tips box represents the parcels depot the other boxes, a low relief extension to this. I'll need some building flats with lines of dirty windows. The platforms will be canopied for much of their length and be accessed via underpass from somewhere. In essence this is the bastard child not only of Hopwood/Rhiw, but leans heavily on Messers Futers and Freezer though there will be what amounts two two separate fiddle yards (up and down) on one board using the existing fan of sidings that are currently used for Svanda and adding an extra pair (don't think three will fit) alongside.
Reversing into the fiddle yard, ho hum. Okay if possibly the train doesn't vanish from entirely from sight? It all depends for whom you are building this, an exhibition for the masses, the cogniscenti, or yourself. I would go with the latter and factor in any others. Who is going to be "playing" with it most? There's your answer. Hope it all goes well...

Don't mention lightweight. Do not go there...
ReplyDeletel don't see why reversing into the FY would be a problem...after all, the prototype has moves where trains disappear from sight only to reappear on another line. I guess the objection is from the exhibition point of view, a train going off stage and back on again with the viewer not realising why.
