Run with this one

26 February, 2009

It took a while and a lot of messing about but I've decided to go with a track plan based on the Wiscasset Waterfront trackage. Last month I did an entry about it and here's what I've ended up with.

There is a lot of room for stuff even though it's only 9 feet by about 18 inches. An extra switch has been added and I've decided to make it a small branchline terminal with a turntable for rod locos (I really do wanna build my 2-4-0) and the like. The left end will have a small fiddle track/yard that will swing up when in use.

One aspect of this is still undecided and that is how it will be displayed. My thinking is an open layout. No background and could be viewed from either side. I like the idea of something open - mainly because it's "not the usual thing".
