On my coach bodging thread :- Phil's GW coach bodging I mentioned I would start a new thread on the subject of my test track come shunting plank.
Over the weekend I have been doodling on Templot and have come up with the following track plan.
The layout will be 8 foot by 18 inches, the fiddleyard will use cassettes. It will be built too EM gauge.
I have given it the provisional tittle of Pottery Quay, which was the location of a proposed line from Devonport Station down to the Tamar River, by the Torpoint Ferry.
The Grey box will be a loco shed to hide the exit hole into the fiddleyard and the trach is extended to allow loco's to be added or removed.
The layout will be somewhere to check that my auto coaches will actually go around curves, even though they won't be used during normal operating.
Don't hold your breath for progress beyond building the baseboards and getting some track laid. The construction work is held up, by the lack of timber and ply at my local builders merchants, it's something to do with the bank holiday.
