Hi,

With luck in a few weeks I can start thinking about track plans though given two tracks for continuous running there isn’t a lot of choice.  Anyway, to give me some ideas to ponder I managed to find the track plans of our first layout and the existing layout.  The first, ‘Rhydypenau Light Railway’ was enlarged after about eight years as 16 mm Scale became more popular it was getting a little crowded inside.  The present layout is modular and can be erected in about nine different sizes some examples and photographs attached.  The new layout will not be modular as it took a lot of construction time to make Rhydypenderyn so and in all its exhibitions it has been only a few times it has been used other than at full size.  It is my turn to cook this evening so I will post today's efforts tomorrow.
