Cane River and Winnfield Rock.

So, with TVNAM over for this year, my attention can now turn toward extending the layout.

As it stands, this is likely going to be the first initial plan of how the layout will look, though I'll likely leave out the double slip at the mouth of the receiving sidings, and replace it with pointwork in such a way as to keep the switching lead from fouling the main.

Otherwise I think that this is quite adequate for representing a shortline railroad linking up with a interchange yard - in this case the Natchitoches and Cane River Railroad linking up with the fictional KCS interchange yard in Natchitoches. You may also notice the offshoot from the shortline which crosses the feed into the loco stabling area which ends at the end of the board, and the curved spur opposite alongside the rice silo - this is to allow for a lift out section to be placed here if required so I can sit back and run trains in a big circle, should the mood take me.
