Planning the station and trying to come up with a name for it

[@aleopardstail]

on the station side upper deck could you run the tracks out a bit more to the end? won't specifically widen the curves but what it will do is give you a longer straight run? maybe even just at one end (the left end in your plan?). even just run around behind the next roof joist may work? otherwise it looks good as a layout

Hi Dale - thanks, yeah I know what you mean, I just like those spaces at the end because them make it easy for me to get to both sides of each end, if you get my meaning. The blue bits in the track diagram are 'human spaces' and mean I'd still easily be able to get to the incline lines etc. In my last layout I struggled to get right to the back of each end of the layout and it frustrated me so I've been trying to keep easy access this time. Regards, Chris

A play on words, how about Wairwud ? 😊👍

[@WirenwoodModelRailway]

Thank you - that's another good one! Regards, Chris

When it comes to bare baseboards, Rule One applies. "It's you layout, your way" As for a name how about simply "Wyre Wood" at least for a station.

[@WirenwoodModelRailway]

It's a very valid point! I do think I'd like to have it scenic, just don't think I'm artistic enough to do something I'd be happy with. Regards, Chris

Wirewood Junction Do you guys use the word junction on the railroad? Yeah I think you do there is Chesterfield and Everard Junction.

[@WirenwoodModelRailway]

Yeah, junction does get used, I think on the railways it literally represents the junction between multiple lines. I grew up in an area by a rail junction and it kind of dominated - I lived on 'Junction Road' and the local station, although closed by the time I was born, was 'Norton Junction'. Maybe I have enough relevant history with the term to use it?! Thanks for the suggestion!

Wyrrenwood? High Wyrrenwood?

[@WirenwoodModelRailway]

I like the substitution of a 'y'! I think with this though I'm going absolutely minimal!
