Mission impossible ? I think Dikitriki found with Heyside how slow it is to recreate the urban landscape is....Hi Mate, yep, the idea is to operate from the front.

The buildings are based on real locations that existed post war, I will post some sketches/pic's etc later.The pubs the really interesting one and the view down Boat street should be good as well.
Not just the sharp curve (horse-shunted, I expect) but two 3-ways and two diamonds. I mean, just how trainsetty can one get?That plan is something else!
The curve from the barge bank into the warehouse reminds me of the one at Romford into the Ind Coope brewery siding. About as close to Hornby radius #1 as you'll get!
Are you sure? On first study I wondered why the far diamond was missing some checkrails.... and then I noticed that the far diamond does not have any crossings!!! That there diamond is plain track, so what is at the end of the plain line to either side of the "crossing"?... two 3-ways and two diamonds.

Interesting - looks like the curved track was laid across that rear 'straight' without bothering to make it a proper crossing, or remove the old siding either....
Graham,Hi Colin,
