Re: Mini Freightliner Depots - Layout Idea?

as the loco can only leave one way, what if it needed to go in the other direction? would it have to turn around or run around further up the main line?

One of my side hobbies is running the BR Open Days website - which I'm aiming to compile a list of Open Days and stock seen at each event.

Re: Cramdin Yard

Thanks Dave.
I was afraid it would be with the expense static grass applicator! I shall investigate the static grass option for my sidings as I need to add change of texture.
