Hi All

Here is my plan (P4) for a "might have been" layout. It supposes that the LSWR instead of GWR reached Bridport Bay (West Bay), and here is the layout as in circa 1910.

Initial baseboards have arrived (frpm Brilliant Baseboards) and would invite any comments before track laying commences.

All station throat turnouts and single slip are on a single baseboard.

Both .BOX and .BGS files are included as a .ZIP

Cheers

Phil

Hi Phil

Operation is going to be a little awkward, in that a goods train can't arrive if both platform roads are occupied because it's got nowhere to go, and if one road is occupied then the goods loco can't run around it's train, and when it gets to shunting the yard it would probably use a platform road as well in the operation which effectively means no passenger trains in operation. Also, using the carriage sidiing may be a bit involved.

Having said that, maybe that's what you want. But it means that you'll have to work out a timetable which will get around the limitations.

Just my thoughts
cheers
Nigel

Fair points Nigel, thanks. I did design in some operational difficulties to keep things interesting! I am finishing a 1/4 scale model of the plan and will try some shunts and moves out to test the plan and to create a possible timetable.

This may highlight some changes before beginning actual construction.

Cheers

Phil
