Re: 00 Layout Plan Review
Posted: Tue Jun 04, 2019 9:29 pm
The design has undergone another revision after looking over the framework of the actual board.
The previous head shut at the right end of the outer line has been extended into a full track, which will allow trains to arrive and depart at almost the same time. With the addition of this, the points to that mess of a turning loop have been removed, as there is no requirement for it anymore in my eyes and it is too short to hold a full train. This now leaves me with a small line between the quarry and up lines, which I could use as a coal yard. However, most of the coal yards I have seen on layouts are usually sidings, so I want to know if what I'm planning is realistic at all before going ahead.
Again, please fell free to leave pointers and criticisms.
