what to do.
'Snuffles Road' was born earlier today as I cruised the A1 on my way home. a quick attempt at a track plan in xtrkcad proved it would work. so a trip to the loft.
now have a 4'x1' plank layout, can handle an 18" train, two road fiddle yard accessed via a sector plate, leads to a single front of house road with a pair of kick back sidings as a small goods yard. each road capable of three small wagons.
Currently occupied with my small shunter, a single LNER suburban coach and two wagons. eventually it will be GWR and totally seperate from my main layout. the goal was to create something cheap and portable.
both points operated by hand, its not wired up as yet, thats tommorrow along with the three final bits of track - the road ends.
piccies to follow tomorrow, this is following me to Oxford over crimbo where the rails will be painted and some other scenic work done, retaining wall etc.
Station will be a hacked superquick country station & platform thats I've had sitting around for a while.
operationally this is never going to be 'complicated', at most a train will be one bogie coach, or two four wheelers. but it can be handled quickly
