Currently working on a plan found in one of the old 1960's Railway Modellers, effectively a terminus to terminus with a continuous run and a branch line.
The problem as always with adapting this type of plan into Trainz (apart from the fact what's on paper doesn't always fit without a bit of expansion) is that the terminus stations are designed without loco release crossovers requiring a pilot loco to drag the stock out then back in to release the train engine. Even if there is a loco run round these never seem to work properly in Trainz.
Two possible solutions, one being to extend the line beyond the terminus into a return loop so trains can simply come back in facing the correct way, or extend into a small fiddle yard with a run round set up with enough space so that Trainz works correctly. However either method destroys the purity of the "classic" UK terminus with a large concourse.
Open to suggestions.
