As I had some spare time last night I started laying out the track on the bench work with pleasing results. Having erred on the side of caution when sketching the track plan, I found I had a bit more room than expected at the harbour end, so I made a couple of adjustments.
I have added a fifth track to the yard, and managed to fit a double ended caboose track parallel to the yard ladder. Its absence was concerning me, so I'm pleased it fit in. I have also eliminated one switch from what I'm calling the urban industrial area, and by placing two industries on one track, I have created more space for the food producer, or 'pie factory'
I think this will make the area more interesting to switch overall.
Further around the layout I have also added a team track to the left of the town, close to where I will position an old depot.
Hopefully I will get time over the weekend to produce a modified, and hopefully clearer, track plan, and perhaps take a few photos.
Cheers,
Kev
