It took me ages to settle on a track plan for St Petrock. I started by trying to fit a station, a junction and a china clay branch into my railway room, but couldn't do it to my satisfaction. Eventually, whilst thumbing through old Model Railway Journals for inspiration, I found Geoff Kent's Blakeney (No.66, 1993) and realized that one reasonably large station along two sides of the room would have plenty of operating potential, together with the uncluttered look of a small town terminus. By the time I'd made a mirror image of it, then hacked it about to fit a smaller space, the resemblance had faded a bit, but hopefully you can see the similarity.
As the project progresses, things will doubtless change a bit, but my early impressions are that it's going to be rather satisfying to operate.
