John, your wish is my command (well it is panto season). :D

Full width is a bit tricky as it is fairly long and stretches round a corner as you can see.

Thank you Steve. The reason I asked was, I am going to do something along those lines (pardon the pun).............Because my small room it is bit restrictive I was wondering how to get longer station in. So yes I am going to pinch your idea and put a station in the corner. Thank you very much for doing the picture so quickly. Do I have to pay you copyright. :lol: ....................John

The big drawback of a platform on the outside of a curve is the size of the gap you have to leave to get clearance on the buffer beams - not helped by having to use R3 curves. But it does fill up an empty corner quite well. The good news is that when a train is in the station, you can’t see the gap from the viewing point.

I must knock up a trackplan on the computer at some point.

Thanks again for posting the plan. Now the dog can really see the rabbit. I will do a similar corner station to save space. Thanks for your help Steve.

Very nice Mr M. Very nice indeed. The LMS 350 looks nice. Is it Bachmann or Hornby?
