Change of plan continued...

Here's an aerial view with the layout I will be working to, it ties in nicely between the original trackplan and the coastline of Armadale.

Change of plan

Having thought I'd finalised the track plan, I came across records of the Hebridean Light Railway proposal at the National Archive which include plans of the line. This got me thinking, and I'd like to model a station that was part of the proposed route from Armadale through to Broadford, then off towards Kyleakin, or Portree and then eventually branches to Dunvegan and Uig.

Whilst looking around Skye and looking at the trackplan Armadale began looking rather like Port na Cailliche in reverse, so I quickly doodled the trackplan crewdly on top of google

maps...

As if by magic the reverse layout seems to fit in perfectly! I'm now going to look at this in more detail, but I can see more fun to be had with a real location and planning how it would have developed with the railway arriving there.

Essentially it will be a flipped version of PnC, but I think I may have to loose the tidal inlet as it just doesn't seem to tie in with the coastline north of Armadale.

This might inspire me to pull my finger out and clear the loft... I did say might though!
