7 Foot x 2 Foot Plan Needed

Hello to all , i am new to model rail and looking for some help
I Have a board which is 7x2 feet , i also have the following track pieces available to work with
All are new , PECO , The Track Pieces are , R600 X 2 R601 X 3 R603 X 4 R606 X 1 R628 X 3 R8072 X 4 R8073 X 2 And R8076 X 1 I Also have 12 lenghts of Flexi Track
i am just not able to cope with any of the pc rail design programmes [ at my age } i get so far in them and make a complete mess of things

So i wonder if anybody could draw up a plan based on the available track as listed above
what i would like is a Terminus station A Timber yard And a loco Shed/Depot
If that is possible
i look forward to hearing from you

Tim

 

Hi Gary yes sorry i forgot to put it in the post British Rail Mid 70,s to Early 80,s

 

Fantastic Gary many thanks give me a few hours and i will get back to you on it it looks ideal

 

Hi again Gary , i would like to put the Terminus building at the end of the board { vertically as you look at the plan } that would mean doing away with the cattle dock
which i am ok with , as it might leave room to put in another point down where the Water /coal.sand ash pit is located ? it would also do away with the goods shed then leaving two main lines ? am i making sense

 

Gary you are a Genius that is spot on thank you , it is exactly what i am after , now another silly question from me , the layout will be DCC Controlled . i will chip the locos for sound , i will not put point motors in as i would like to switch the points manually , now the points i have are a thing called electrofrog Peco Streamline EL 395
What is the situation with wiring the points Gary ? Again i have tried to read up on it but it is double dutch to me any help there would be great Gary

 

Gary i think i messed up Sorry , i may have sent you the wrong track list , because i was looking at a Hornby plan on the net and i had wrote down the track numbers . so i am sorry i think i got mixed up
Here is the correct list of the track i have available to me

5 Yards Peco SL-100 Code 100 Streamline Track.

3 x Peco SL-E95 Medium Right Hand Electrofrog points.

1x Peco Sl-E90 Three Way Electrofrog point.

Peco Sl-10 Code 100 Rail Joiners.

Peco Sl-11 Code 100 Insulated Rail joiners.

4 x Peco Sl40 Rail built buffer stops.

if i need more to complete the layout i will buy them Gary

 

Hi Keith no i wish to move them by hand , just reach in and switch , just my thing as i find it more enjoyable keith as i am only starting out in model rail and dont want to get bogged down as i am overwhelmed just building it

 

Hi Pete Hi Keith , ok a few questions regarding the dcc set up , the unit i will be using is Gaugemaster , all my locos will be DCC fitted , now regarding the layout if you can bear with me on this and i will try and explain what i am trying to build , as you know the board is 7 feet long by 2 feet wide, was up late last night a found a drawing that might work for me , using the track pieces i have available , Imagine you are standing in front of the board , i want to fit two lines going most if not all the lenght of the board
they will be close to the edge of the board , on the two lines i will fit 4 x Peco SL 395 code 100 points One set joined together close to the end of the line. and the other set joined together close to the other end of the line , so this will in Theory give me two Main lines with 4 sets of points , so that i can turn a loco around or hook up another loco from one of the lines , { am i making sense ? } then on the top line close to one end of the board i wanted to add a right hand point that will lead into the board , and on that line i can add my 3 way point which will give me more lines
sorry i forgot to mention the two mainlines will end in a terminus station
now to Dcc this , i was under the impression that all the points i got needed no adjustment etc etc and would all be okay for dcc operation and that i could switch the points by hand, sorry for all he questions but i am a only starting out
i have plastic point joiners and also metal joiners { fishplates }

 

Here is the drawing i found https://freetrackplans.com/152-6x1-wagon-works.html
if you look at the bottom diagram , and just look at the two lines at the bottom and forget the rest .
on the two lines you can see the 4 sets of points , on the top line there is a left hand point fitted , i wish to do away with that , and fit a right hand point on that line further to the right that will allow access into the board { hope this makes sense } again regarding DCC control i was under the impression with all the peco points i have that they would work perfect on dcc with plastic fishplates fitted in sections on the points ?
