January Newsletter 1976: End year report, wagons and yard plans

It's the end of the year. Actually we are almost a month in the new year, so it's time to take a quick look back at last year. We managed to acquire our first locomotive in the spring, together with a brake van. We have continued laying track and we have also ballasted some of the track. We have also continued collecting railway artefacts and other things that we might need in the future. 

In December arrived 3 (new) wagons to the railway. A brake van, a plank wagon and a cornflat. They where put on the track right away and hopefully they will be a big help in the future, when we are going to lay more track.

Yard Plans

We have been busy working on some plans for the yard and we are finally ready to show them to the public.
This is so far still a rough sketch and the dimensions are not right. We have plans for a small shed and workshop, a loop along the platform and a few sidings with a head shunt. This should give us enough room for now, but we might ad extra sidings if space is available. The plan is to make the yard in a few steps. The point work being the first part followed by the shed. Then the headshunt and loop and last the two long sidings. This is only a track plan and don't have any buildings we might also wan't.
