This is how the D&S works to all stations - a point to point layout



Stations with a yellow background are visible &  have buildings, etc so the crew have somewhere to shunt into.
Names in Italics are storage - some are hidden.

To fit this into my space, I have had to incorporate gradients &  diamonds. By cunning use of turnouts at Anstey Jn , I do have a  continuous run available if needed.

Since I did the wall panel as per Post 169 and the new combined Tawnton panel on Post 170,  I haven't done much in the way of scenery but involved in Timetables  & the associated paperwork to move trains around with modifications  found after each Op session and the light is at the end of the tunnel  now….

Tidied up the panels for Dispatcher/ Main signal box/ Main line &  storage turnouts  and after a couple of crossovers added, also rebuilt  the main wall display panel  which is more in keeping with how the layout actually looks.

Marty, the re LEDs are actually bi-colour-  red / green and are repeaters so the crew can see them better than those on the track side.
The 3 signals in a vertical row at the top will in time be also on a signal gantry using one of these

Very nice, Sol - but they could have been taken by anyone.

Are you sure that you're still alive?   :roll:

I like the new halt Sol, did the passenger driver/operator complain of not having enough stops to service?
Cheers

Yes Marty, a bit of that but the idea was to give the terminal stations drivers a bit more to do instead of sitting around contemplating their navel while waiting the main station to finish shunting their trains !

Thanks Alan/Spurno for the Picture of the week.

As I said back in February, I have been a bit slack on scenery and the small platform of a couple of weeks agostill has to be finished off but other things get in the way…
