Track Plan

Drafting of the Weddin track plan is finally underway again. The station / yard is based on the arrangements at Canowindra as published in an SRA of NSW Track Diagram Book circa 1982. I have added a dock road for the branch railmotor, and the junction arrangements. These provide for a train to depart either from the dock or the main to take the branch line. I left out the R. A Brown siding on the (prototype) Eugowra end (i.e. the Cootamundra end as modelled), and compressed everything else to the space available.

Both Parkes and Coota have three roads of storage. There is a continuous run through the middle, and a head-shunt is provided for both sets of staging. Two roads at each have run-around facilities.
The timber trestle will be located on the straight beyond the Cootamundra end of Weddin. The branch will need about a 1 in 30 grade to gain sufficient height at the terminus (not shown) above Parkes.
I intend to rotate everything anticlockwise a few degrees so that the straight tracks are not parallel to the edge of the benchwork (at least in the scenicked areas).
That's it for now.
