25. History fights back.

 Following on from my previous post, I've been considering the operational rationale for the layout I've proposed and found it to be unlikely. I'm also doubtful that a new crossover would be built across the station approaches. 

Also, as intimated previously, the two sections cannot meet in the space I have.

So I'm thinking of moving the station a few yards up the line, towards the Mill, and into the modeled scene. This will give an interesting foreground, some operational interest, and an excuse to run a DMU.

The line extending towards Shipley Wharf can stay and the rest abandoned...


So this version, pictured, isn't going to happen.

I've also found the bulkhead rail I thought I had, and I've salvaged a turnout from the test build which is now officially abandoned.
