When I started out on this thread I planned to report progress as it happened.

Since the most recent post I had a look at other people's modules and realised that everyone has put trailing crossovers betwen the two running lines which means that my plan for the branch line terminus would not work as passenger trains could not run into the platform see first photo. I have therefore moved the platform to the down line and extended the lay by siding from the other board plus a cross over. I will probably curve the end of the siding towards the edge of the board with a goods shed/cattle dock. See other two photos for new idea. Cat included for scale. Actually she was supervising!

This will in fact make the layout more flexible and allow for holding another train, which will be quite useful when running with the other modules.

Anyway should finish the third base board at Club next Wednesday, but will need another left hand point for the new track layout.

Best wishes,

John H-T.
