I have been working on this little layout for a customer and it is about finished. Although only 8'6" x 2' 6" it has lots of shunting potential.
This is the plan as originally drawn:
As built it follows the plan pretty closely, using the warehouse as an off scene storage track (you can't really call it a fiddle yard!). For obvious reasons the warehouse is removeable.
The period is the early 1960's (depending on when the 05 was built!)
I have used Peco Set Track and in a location like this it looks OK; the loco's have no problems running through the sharp points.
The layout could very easily be operated with stock from an earlier era with few alterations.
The idea is that the centre line runs through the gate to the outside world, curving sharply in front of the shop.
