Hi Chris,
Like Andrew I was also interested to see how you would operate the layout without a run-around track. I've always been fascinated by the operation
of small switching layouts and I'm one of those who'll stop to watch and engage in conversation with the operator at a exhibition.I agree with all your comments with regard to UK exhibitions.
Although my Palmetto Spur operates quite prototypically shoving cars into the spurs, I do miss watching a train arrive with the loco on the point and then switching spurs in both facing and trailing
directions. I will be aiming to arrange this on my next layout and your layout has given me food for thought. Do I include a run around track or not ......
Looking forward to seeing more of your layout.
regards,
Mal
