Layout Design

Ok, So Layout is a bit much.  This will start out as an overblown Inglenook layout partially for switching and partially for photography.  Overall dimensions are 18"x72" which will drop into my current show layout modular system.  Like the British Exhibition layouts, this will have a focused area and the rest a run around to keep trains flowing through.   At home this will be stand alone and allow for some fun switching as time allows.

I've added some to the actual site given there is only a single track that runs through town,  I don't see any rail serve or switches on the maps so far.  I added the Inglenook on the right side and will determine later what is the car count for each siding.  So to limit the space the engine has to work I will plant a passenger coach next to the station allowing for only a few cars to be pulled out of any siding, in the spirit of the layout intent.  As I noted above I'll be able to link this in with my own and other "Freemo" systems on the road.

I've also been looking for a train shed to model, this one isn't on the FUS but I like the design and will probably model this to add to the second module if that gets constructed to add to the left of this one.

 And one of these, a bit more distressed given it would be past it's prime.
