Hi, I don't know really where to start this post but here goes. I wish to build a layout of a former S&D station but I don't know which one to choose. I keep looking at various plans and think yep that one will do but after sitting down I usually end up starting over again as I find some reason why not to model station X.
Space isn't a real problem I want a continuous run but it's not the main want but I also want a yard so basicaly I want to watch the trains go by but if it takes my fancy I can do a bit of shunting.
I keep choosing stations on the mainline because I want to see my favourite locos (Bulleid's & 7F's) run but I quite like Glastonbury and Highbridge (I like the wharf)and my choice of locos didn't do the branch. So if there are any S&D modellers out there who have got any thoughts on what they would model and why I would be grateful to hear from you.
To run big locos on the branch I would have to have "an alternative history" type layout which doesn't bother me and some of the places I can't see me modelling are Midford, Henstridge, Stalbridge & Shillingstone.
Even though I do have space I am limited to running my layout around the walls as some of my stock is kit built and won't negotiate tight curves.
