Metropolitan Union Passenger Terminal
This layout is what I have been looking for and would like to know if someone could let me know how to contact Stan Sweatt to see if he has the wiring diagram and info on this layout thanks.
it’s an good track plan !!
its a good plan but needs to be modified, Unless I am missing something track 1 is the only track with direct access to the main line, track 3 goes strait into the round house and track 2 and 4 hit a dead end through the yard, if I were to build this layout I would like to fill up all platforms with passenger trains and dispatch them. Passenger trains need to be on time and shouldn’t have to shove into the yard just to leave the station. 2 additional crossovers need to be added in order to utilize all platforms efficiently.
This something I’m in the process of building, However as I get ready to buy the turnouts, I took note of the minimum #8 turnouts on the main line. Are those also #8 double slips at “Branchline Juction”? And doesn’t this create a wiring nightmare with all of the possible reverse loops taking place?
I too would like Stan Sweatt to put out a wiring diagram for this section.
I hate to change the plans but this is over my head without help.
I like it but I’ll have to strip it down for 3 rail O scale without having to double the overall size of it.
