Structural
- Add a full length backscene to the scenic area, to the height of the existing divide between scenic area and fiddleyard
- Add canopy and lights to layout scenic area
- Rebuild fiddleyard with either a traversor, 3 or 4-road fiddleyard or cassettes or a combination of any of the three. I shall have to build a model of this first and ask on forums/club for advice.
- Replace existing signalbox kit with either a better kit, resin or scratchbuilt model. (pref. GCR Type 5 or one based on Hotchley Hill LNER brick/concrete type)
- Improve central platform - replace with one of wooden construction instead of card? Should be more durable certainly.
- Install lighting in/on buildings
- Add more "clutter" such as pallets and oil drums and weathering.
- Add more signs to walls, posts and lamps
- Various repairs to signals and other items
- I'm happy with the current control system for now, though long term goal is to aquire a NCE PowerCab with accessory decoder support.
- Since ZTC Controls Ltd has ceased trading I won't be expanding the number of point motors in use.
- The wiring underneath requires a little tidying up and I'll be adding new feeds to problem areas
- Retire Hornby "Jinty" in favour of Bachmann version or a different class of loco.
- Add lamps, irons and crews where apprpriate
- Renumber and apply weathering to rollingstock and locomotives to reflect stock familiar to South Yorkshire.
