A few subtle changes

I’ve made a few subtle changes to the track layout (surprise).

New-Plan

Yeah, it’s changed a bit. But the explain. The bluey/purpley shaded sections are ‘non-scenic’. I could turn part of them into scenery, but the right hand side disappears under a shelf, and the left hand side is removable, so it’s a bit pointless I feel. So basically just the front is the scenic area.

As you can see, there’s a station area down front, plus the depot up the back. There’s a small headshunt for the depot. It’s simple, but I feel it’s not necessarily making the best of the space available. I can’t really think how else to do it. The thing is, Code 55 track has very shallow curves on the points; the rear storage sidings are quite tight, but they are Code 80. I want Code 55 in the scenic areas as it looks nicer.

I do have a large expanse of nothingness on the right, which would make for some nice scenery, so I’m not too worried about it being empty. Not sure what will go there mind!

I’ll need a couple more points, which I’ll probably pick up at Warley this weekend. Hopefully this’ll be the last change, and I’ll start gluing things down properly!

So, comments and suggestions?
