Today I went to Charnock Richard (just south of Coppull) to see the TThO 4S35/1407 Seaforth CT to Mossend Down Yard intermodal, which annoyingly was again just empty container flats after the initial working was fully loaded. DB's 66175 was on the front again, seen running alongside the access track which runs to Balshaw Lane Jn on 17/05/18.
The ME Models curve track components expand our repertoire of track configurations even further when combined with the standard TLG R40 switch.
Shown above are reference designs for return curve sidings spaced at 8-stud intervals. This configuration could be useful for stations with an island platform for example. All sidings align to 16-stud intervals and can therefore return back symmetrically to form a loop. Also shown are double sidings configured in a quasi-ladder configuration and also maintaining alignment with the 16-stud grid.
An interesting pattern emerges with the return curve configurations; each 8-stud spacing requires the addition of 1.5x full straights and a reduction of radius of 16-studs over the 22.5 deg return sector. Neat result!

Such a nice smell on a warm evening , which was soon replaced with the smell of fuel oil from the empty tanker passing by.
my first trial with a pinhole. Just using a rising pinhole cap on my DSL camera ( which rendered it a no lens camera ;-) )
