Escape from England

My regular autumn trip to Howard Love's house in France with supplies of English goodies included the scenic part of the layout to allow track laying to be completed.



Although there is a bit of tweaking needed where I haven't got things quite straight, the next task is fitting point motors and wiring.

The two main running lines each have a passing loop where freight trains will recess for crew changes, or for passenger trains to pass.  The inner freight loop also leads to three and run round loops and a freight branch line which passes behind warehouses to end adjacent to the fiddle yard.  A similar headshunt for the sidings leads to the headshunt on the opposite end.
