Western Thunderer
First test assembly of the boards for my new layout replacing Aldeburgh Harbour. 3.4m long, 750mm deep. A sector plate feeds the main(platform) line, a run round/siding, and a wharf siding with a switch back siding in front of the sector plate. At the opposite end another sector plate allows the locos to run round. The cutout is for the wharf. A shop from Rundle stands in for the station building.
The line from the wagon turntable will cross the main lines to reach a low relief goods shed at the back, as happened at quite a few ECR/GER/LNWR stations. If, as is hoped, the layout is eventually exhibited, I plan to substitute a 1.2m sector plate for that small one on the left, and run it as a through station. The station buildings and infrastucture will be interchangeable for running Early or Pre-grouping stock of the above railways.
Next test is to try and fit the scenic section of Rundle in the room with it.
