I forgot to say that I got the traverser locking done. No picture because it looks pretty much the same as it did but with some tubes soldered on and a bent length of brass rod.
To store wagons at the sector plate end I made a shelving thingy to store them in.
On the baseboard face I have added pockets to hold the wagon cards. I have since added the siding location/names to these.
The pocket on the left holds the pack of cards, from which are drawn 7 to make up the train. The train is run out to the weighbridge loop, where the cards are held in an ARRIVALS pocket. As each wagon is moved to its destination, its card is removed from ARRIVALS and deposited in the location pocket e.g. Boiler House.
What I haven't yet worked out is when and which wagons should be gathered in and have their cards put into the DEPARTURES pocket to make up a train go back to BR. Or when to run an internal only train. Dice?
