http://www.faller.de/bildArchiv/F210000/F212113.jpg my bonn stationits being built for at a cost of $100 and to buy was $140
In my last picture looking at the top station all the sidings will go to allow for the 5 main lines plus buffer stops and inbetween the line platforms measuring 1.30m The bottom station will be the kroenberg station same thing 5 main lines running into it plus more complex shunting stage plus few industries and houses ect anyone can put your 10 CENTS WORTH IN PLEASE.MIKE
Foot note to this my track being used will be fleischmann N Scale piccolo and aso bet DCC operated with lenz 100 system
Welcome back Mike! Glad to hear that you are doing well and recovering. I like your track plan. The only question I have is whether the track section in the center is reachable from either side?
I have access space of approx 2ft 6in all the way around the baseboards so can reach all parts nade a carboard baseboard first lol.mike
Do you have a "wye" near by to turn the trains around to back in to the station? The original layout of the prototype is a double ended sidings that allow the train to pull through the station so that the passenger cars are lined up with the loading platforms. Using a stub ended layout, you will need the train to back in and allow the cars to be along the platforms while the engines are off the platforms. I also think the second design allows longer platforms, so it should be the better choice.
