4mm London Road Sidings (formerly Poppy Lane)

Me too just read the entire thread!
Mighty fine, liking the fiddle stick as it’s something I’m envisioning for my forthcoming reinvented layout Meldon.

Thank you so much. Very kind of you. I don't appear to have mentioned that I retrospectively added an isolated section at the far end of the fiddle-stick, just long enough to hold one loco. Small additions like this certainly add to the versatility of such a small layout.

London Road Sidings will be appearing this coming weekend (25th & 26th January) at Thamesmead Model Railway Exhibition, Harris Garrard Acadamy, Yarnton Way, Thamesmead, Erith, Kent, DA18 4DW. If you are visiting please stop by to say hello. Apparently we will be situated in the East Atrium. Sounds very posh!

London Road Sidings performed well over the whole weekend. My oppo, Matt, and I had some interesting conversations with visitors who wanted to know various details about the construction. The hand-held controller was handed to anyone who fancied a go. Matt proved to be a far better shunter than I, and appeared to know more about the layout than me! A number of people said that they felt inspired to have a go at building something similar themselves, which was quite gratifying to hear. Expect to see a flurry of London Road Sidings appearing any time soon! Two more exhibition invites were forthcoming, and at least one video was taken for inclusion in a Youtube feature about the exhibition.
