Sidetracked

The station at Effans Uchaf was initially designed to have a small siding at the western end of Platform 1. 

The original siding. 

However, I have accrued quite a large collection of rolling stock and would seek to show it off as much as possible. I decided that this would be extended to act as a siding or, if necessary, a third platform for passenger services to depart from. This was completed using a length of flexitrack, my nemesis, to create a longer siding which will unofficially be known as platform 3.

The newly formed siding. I just need to pin it down.

I have also built some buffer stops for all three of the sidings. These have been constructed from sleepers that came with the Norfolk Heath works Station building. I was sent a very large quantity so thought it opportune to use them as buffer stops. They have been glued together and painted brown to blend in to the scenery more effectively.
