I've been working on this for the past few days. Still needs a good tidy up and a session of timber nudging, along with adding the slip roads to the diamond for the yard (Which I've already completed on an older version of the plan).

The layout itself is a small parcels depot and TMD based loosely in the location of Blackwell road in Carlisle and primarily serving the Cumbrian Coast Line circa 1974/5.

Bottom most track is just a loop with holding sidings, the track above it exits to the hidden storage. The first point (C10) serves the TMD which features a two road shed, refueling road / head-shunt and a siding (A7) for a couple of TTA wagons of diesel.

I'd like to hear any comments and suggestions regarding tidying up the plan. And while I'm without doubt that the overall plan is highly unrealistic, I'd appreciate input as to anything I can do to increase realism overall.

For instance, I'm not sure if I should include a trap point on the main exit from the shed. I'm planning on having a small ground frame to operate the double slip and the shed point, with a leaver on extended timbers for the siding. Carlisle PSB would likely be in-charge of the C10 for shed access. I'd also be interested in the best way to operate the two crossovers which will be sandwiched between platforms,

Any input greatly received.

Regards

Matt

Okay here is the latest version of my RMweb 2010 layout challenge "Train set".

 1764_031533_130000000.png1764_031533_130000000.png


I really should have added more detail to the orginal post, but basicly this is intended to be my first P4 layout (and well the first working layout of my own since the old 6'x4' and two failed attempts at restarting). The RMweb 2010 challenge arrived and I put on hold the plans I currently had for a P4 version of Dalston in cumbria. Basic down to the fact i wanted something "working" in P4, and also felt i needed a test peice for trying out things such as contructing P4 track and baseboard building to a high standard. The latter being the overall failure of my two previous re-start attemps. So with the 10 month-ish time peiod to contruct the layout and the use of RTP items and various quick start P4 track items I'm confedent of really getting somewhere with this project.

I've finalised all the sidings and parcel depot track, but the two main roads for the loco shed are the only two in doubt, I intend to use the bachmann RTP diesel shed, which i realy should buy and work out all the required dementions of. And I'm debating adding a check rail to the curve for the oil siding (It's the only curve sharp enough to warrant one by prototype standards). I've also completed all of the timber shoving, which is quite messy in places, mainly due to the baseboard joints, but it is certainly the tidiest I've been able to come up with.

I'll wing a copy of the screen shot over to Photoshop later, and have a toy about with adding buildings and the like, i'll also post another reply in a moment, with an attachment of the shape file, which contains all the baseboard data (including support beams etc).

Regards

Matt
