    After operating the goods yard, found it non productive, so I've added two right hand points too create a run around. Fairly happy with operations now.

    By having a play, I mean operating session, you get to find out what works and what doesn't. Good to see you could make it work. :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

    Cheers, Gary.

    As a low buget modeler, I decided to have a go at converting, a old Kelloggs wagon. Although not prototypical, I'm very happy with the result.

    Made a few alterations to the goods yard. Major change is the addition of Atlas turntable. Bought this about 6 years ago. Finally mustered up the courage to install it. Fairly simple to do. I Still have to wire in the stalls, and add switches to isolate them. I also Had to extend the corner of the layout to make it fit. This has improved operations in the goods yard. Other small changes are less obvious, but I have lengthened some of the sidings.

    Nice addition Phil. :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

    The siding with the little green loco and six wagons beside the turntable would be ideal spot for a coaling tower and ash pit or diesel refueling station.

    Cheers, Gary.

    I'm retired Chris , so I get out to the train shed nearly everyday. Sometimes just to run trains, and sometimes, I get inspired and do some work on the layout. Definitely keeps my mind working. Cheers :cheers:
