A few photos of parts of the layout not covered previously.
The first shot shows the hidden storage sidings which are located underneath the terminus station. The storage siding pointwork is mainly manually operated but some of the harder to reach ones are electric.

The next photo shows the sharp curve running around the back of the castle. Because access is required to a window this has to be the narrowest part of the layout and although it requires a 12" radius curve I don't have any problems with my stock. I haven't yet decided what to use for the water in the river.

The final shot shows a train (left) descending from the upper level and about to join the continuous lower-level loop around which a container train is passing. The factory is a Vollmer kit modified to represent a dried-milk factory. The chimney is made from a firework rocket tube found on one of our walks
