Hi Gents. (And the odd lady or two) After a long period of time and a lot of trials and tribulations I have restarted in on a new layout at my new place of living. Some of you may recall the old freight yards that I built a long time ago and what went on after they were finished and the final nail was the damned neighbours horse that got in and trashed the thing. Then the separation and so on. I have finally been able this weekend to throw down some track just to give me a idea of the area required for me to build a low deck to lay it on properly
The idea for the layout is point to point with a sneaky loop at the far end that will be hidden for the most part.
The last turnout you can see is for the loop to run around the front of the house and connect at the other side. Entirely out of sight On the other side of the house hidden completely from view of the this yard will be a second small yard.
Turnouts from the old frieght yards (pre: Horse)
were used for this new layout but unfortunately I could not use them all. Mostly 6’s and 7’s are left over.
No real thought at this time has been given to what the line will carry but I have a heap of MDC coal hoppers so I guess that may give me a clue? Any suggestions will as always be appreciated. Grant
