Plan B

Well, not exactly plan B, more like plan ZZZZZ x 10. Ever since i can remember i've been doodling track plans, i go on a train ride and i see a station, or a set of sidings, or a bridge and i think about what it would be like in model form. Well, this it no different really, obviously theres already a layout in place, a layout that i helped to plan in the first place, but it wasn't exactly like i imagined it would be. Partly because my dad finished the trackwork while i was bumming around Australia, and partly because his idea of a perfect layout is lots of circuits with trains going round he can look at. I need a bit more to keep me entertained, something like a goods yard, or somewhere i can reverse the trains to go into/out the hidden sidings.. Either way, in the last few months i must have gone through numerous designs as to what to do, ranging from an extravagant underboard fiddle yard with extra boards for the gradients to the more simple turn half the main station into a terminus. A few weeks ago i think i cracked it, so much so that i actually started to relay the sation throat at the far end of the top station, the easy end. This is what i spent the last few days at work doing, it's where it all came together, the 'doodle' version, and the 'nice' version. Neither are 100% accurate, but they're good enough to get on with. I'm quite excited about getting on with this, i'm also more excited about actually running trains on it when it's all finished that i have been for a long time. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
