Hornby Track Plan for SSR Model Railway

An update on my track plan and suggestion to convert from an end to end terminus station layout into an out and back main line station using a reversing loop. Comments and suggestions appreciated.

@FamilyArth - not enough space :(

Absolutely fascinating, and a great "talk through". Reminds me of my younger days, yourds, Howard.

@YortonJunction00 - Its taking longer than I thought to complete but nearly there. I find drawing it out useful but I still think only putting the track down on the boards and running trains gives you an accurate idea of how your trains will operate on any given plan.

I like this design! I often build layouts which work this way.

@streamlinedtrains - I would prefer a longer run but providing I get the tunnels and scenic break right hopefully it won't look like the trains are chasing their tails! Still not sure if funds will allow for the reversing loop module and wiring - I might just stick with the existing branch terminus on the upper level and siding on the lower level for my Pendolino.
