Hi Folk's! I would appreciate your opinion on this one. The photo shows my modest yard, two mainline tracks ( center ) and two siding
tracks. At the lower left the track will be extended to a loco maintenance and servicing area, the upper left to the fish plant and harbour area.
My plan was to have a small yard, basically connecting the mainline to two spurs much like a junction that would service the industries on the spurs.
The mainline would be supplying the traffic to and from the area. The trackage to the right is the spur up to the coal mine, the space between is the basis for my question. I have room for some buildings,( Station and Freight shed in photo for an example.) and maybe even a road with the buildings, or I could use ithe area for more tracks to make a bigger yard. Keep in mind most mainline traffic would, or should pass straight through the area.
My question is, if it were you, would you leave it as it is, put in a village or make more tracks for a bigger yard? Your opinion will be appreciated Thanks
Cheers Willis
