Looking back through the station, the 5” line needs extending to the exit point and onwards around the whole track.
The inner loop is made up of oddments of track from Hady. We reuse their castoff's.

Many points to keep the loco drivers on their toes !!

How to modify a 7 1/4” gauge points to allow 5” traffic to pass into the loops. Just make sure you have set the points before you progress or you come to a sticky end !! (Think about it !!)
