A very happy Christmas to you all. I’ve been woken early by a marauding two-year old so have been sketching a schematic plan as an aid to thinking about signalling the layout (see link in the signature).
The station modelled is effectively a single track light railway affair with a kick back siding and a double-ended goods siding (not a loop) serving a private mineral siding. Here’s the full plan:
And here’s the bit the railway would want signalled:
I suppose the question is whether the right hand end needs a shunt arm and whether the sidings require ground signals: the Southern were notably parsimonious in such things relative to their Swindon neighbours. And yes, I know the running line needs a trap to protect it from the kick back.
Thoughts please!
