8. 10 January 2025 Construction of the Lower Loop through the Shed begins

 Work has begun on the construction of the loop inside the shed.

This loop can be either used as;

  • a simple run around loop (around running round and round )
  • or can be used to increase the length of the run from the Upper to Lower Yards by having a train switched onto it making the train to travel around it before being switched back onto the run between the yards.
  • Switching it in can also allow a down train (or an up train) to pass an up train (or a down train)  by switching one or the other onto the loop thus performing a passing maneuver.  






It to will have lift up bridges at either end to allow roller door opening and closing.

At present the plan for it is to be hidden from view by curtains, but perhaps a back wall with scenery or low relief buildings could be added and the curtains removed.
