That's great Sol and I know the feeling. I did a similar thing with a vacuum cleaner a few years back although it only had 3 wires……………:roll::roll::roll::roll::cheers
Joking apart, does the 4 wire "plug" feed everything - tracks, lights, points etc. ? If so, a handy "module" because, as has already been said, this could easily be a free standing "plank" type layout. It certainly has enough interest and operating potential.

A discussion with the crew, saw me remove the top station of Marabost, alter a lot of storage tracks and below is the new Marabost.
I better update the main D&S thread with the new overall plan.
a lot of work still to be done before trains run into it.
The blue backboard hiding some storage is very easily removed.

Hidden sidings are OK Peter if one can access them easily & those underneath the old Marabost, etc were not that easy to get to.Do I take it hidden sidings are not a good idea Sol ? I did wonder about access for cleaning and (heaven forbid) derailments ………..:roll:

platform to be to the left of the passenger train
with turnouts of an angle of 12°, it is hard to get all tracks parallel to each other & the back blue backboard considering the angle of the entry track.

So the layout here has been reversed, or I should say, turned up-side-down… So now, where Marabost was, is now the storage sidings and where the storage sidings were, is now Marabost….?? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Cheers, Gary.
