Burton Crumpnold Track Plan DesignThe idea for the Burton Crumpnold is loosely based on a layout in the 'Railway Modeller book of 60 Plans for small locations' (SP13 to be precise). I modified the design to include storage loops at the back and a 'passing loop ' platform on the main station to allow more trains to run at once. The upper level is reached by a branch line on the passing loop. The turntable is a late addition to allow plenty of loco's to be in use. The track used is Hornby, Minimum radius used 438mm - (Hornby 2nd Radius). The main board is 2.4m x 1.35m |

From the passing loop at the main station a branch climbs to the upper level. I wanted to keep the incline sensible but had to give in at 1in25. The Tank loco's and DMU's that will use it seem to cope OK.. |
The upper level, Burton Crumpnold' station, is 1.8m by 30/60cm, the design - (which is still being worked out) is loosely based 'Basic Train Operation' terminus in the 'Model Railway Design Manual' by CJ Freezer. |
