Off stage

Sunday night - 02/03/03

This weekend I've been remodelling the station throat to accomodate the main line extension I started last Sunday. The north end of the station shown here is, strictly speaking, off-stage and will be hidden under an urban area in the fullness of time. An overall roof to the left of this photo will give the illusion of the station continuing in a straight line while the track actually turns around the end of the loft as seen.

Pointwork in this area originally supported a temporary fiddle yard and needed altering to fit the new main line. A facing crossover has now become a more prototypical trailing crossover and various alignments have been fine-tuned. Much work remains to be done including a complete rewiring - I've fitted drop panels at the rear of the board to support this next job.
