Having completed fiddle yard V.1.4, I can finally start on the interesting bit, the extension to the western, scenic end of the layout. This will include a chemical works / tanker unloading depot, consisting of two sidings, the second of which will have a loco shunt release via a double slip onto the through line. The images alongside show the first piece of trackwork I have completed, a conjoined pair of B6 r/hand turnouts, constructed as a single track panel over the last few weeks.
The next track panel to be contructed slots onto the furthest right road in this picture (the through line) and will consist of a trailing curved l/hand leading back toward the camera. this will serve as a cripple sideing for a couple of wagons, plus storage for the shunter which will stable this side of the level crossing and serve the chemical works traffic.
The final track panel will consist of a double slip, joining roads 2 and 3 and divering into a single road heading to a hidden fiddle yard, and a headshunt.
