Hi all,
Posting the track plan here to start the process of nailing down the semaphores and ground disks that would have been used on this line. I am wanting to stick with upper quads as that will carry nicely through the later eras I intend to run stock with and besides I already have some tubular post LMS examples made.
I am anticipating some bracket signals at the end of the platform as starters. Say a bracketed one that serves both platform tracks. What about the cattle yard siding? Would that have had its own starter?
Some shunt ahead signalling would be required I am assuming complete with limit of shunt (probably off scene in the traverser to be honest.) This would be to allow the run around loco to come to the right and reverse back onto the coaching stock in the platform.
I want to keep things fairly simple so was thinking of a pair of ground disks for the run around loop crossovers but then hand operated points for the rest of the sidings with out signalling, relying on hand signals perhaps?
Thoughts and suggestions welcome of course.
