Small station on the Devan & Summersett
The last station to be built will be Wachit which comes off Tawnton - see the plan on the main D&S thread of a couple of days ago.The pictures below give the basic concept - small platform, run- around & a goods yard - there maybe space for a small industry/mik depot.
once this is done ( & the diesel depot in Tawnton), then full-blooded operations using a card system will commence.

I like the sound of the card system.

A different view - the curved rodding is for the manual operation.
The last pic shows the template with PCB sleepers for the release crossover at the end of the platform . This will be made as one unit.

I don't think,in all honesty,that I'd ever be able to make my own trackwork,but seeing Sol's demos don't half make me want to at least have a bash at it!
Nice one,my friend.
Cheers,John.B.

Just have a look at this N scale hand built trackwork from Queensland in Aust.

When I've worked out how to do what ever the hell it is that I am trying to do with my layout, maybe, just maybe I'll be tempted.
Only time will tell.

A couple of things to remember when building your own track is 1 - its great fun and 2 it means you are free to put the track where you want it to rather than being dictated by set track. You can build the track to fit the space you have rather than build the space around the track to fit it. This (at least to me) results in a much more natural looking layout.
I dont know about you Sol, but I like to build track in situe as i find it give a really smooth flow to the trackwork (even if the prototype isn't!)
