OK, a bit late for a new year resolution but at least it's still January and posting this here will encourage me to get on with it.
I have a small N gauge layout which has not been used for a while and have thought about extending it to revive a bit of interest instead of having it stood on end in a corner doing nothing. This is what it looks like at present.

I intend to add scenery to the fiddle or staging area and extend the track by about 18 inches to create a new staging area beyond it. The new scenic section will involve industries which have their cars spotted on the running line, which will add operational interest.

A possible kick back spur and additional industry hiding the staging area, drawn in grey, would entail trains being made up with cars either side of the loco as they run onto the layout and would add yet more operating potential.
