(A slow day at work today...)
So my great idea for building a module of the Miranui flax tram is here:
|
Dimensions are 1500mm long x 700mm wide |
I've made use of a standard PECO N scale starter set to build a loop with a hidden passing loop, which will be hidden under the flax mill model. There's a mainline of PECO HOm (12mm) track running through the middle.
Operationally the idea is to have two trains, one loaded with flax the other empty. The empty train will run counter-clockwise, appearing to head "outwards" from the flaxmill to the flax plantations. The loaded train will wait in the passing loop for the empty train to do a circuit, coming to a stop in the free track. The loaded train will then head clockwise towards the forest. I'm still working out how to make the electrics for this work...
The track passes under the mainline as in the picture in my first post on the tramway.

With trees and building added. |
The tunnel is hidden by a large block of trees on the right hand side and a smaller number after the underpass - although the idea will be for the flaxmill to hide it a bit as well. The loop will be accessible from the back of the scene:
