Well, little tentative to post my latest Track Plan since I have changed it so many times, I'm not sure it will be the latest one, although I *think* this one will be it. Not based on any prototype, tried that a few times and it left me with an unsatisfactory result. Maybe due to our space limitations compared to the space in real life. However, the industries include a small cattle yard, goods shed and maybe a silo. Quite difficult to make an operational track plan given its a shelf layout because an 'intermediate' station so to speak requires about five tracks, with Road #4 leading to the cattle yard / Silo.
Anyway, when I feel more confident that this is *the* track plan I will post it - basically a five track station, with double slips and a couple of stub ended sidings, with the VR Goods Shed opposite the station.
In the mean time, I have some videos for your enjoyment :)

Building Some Trees

I decided to make a tree or two after reading about how to do this from the author of the book Electronics for Model Railways Book 2 by Ken Stone. Basically using copper wire, solder and a soldering iron to make very realistic looking trees. A very good idea and full credit to Ken. Here is what I created....offcourse I still need to paint it and add leaves.
