While mummy and daddy were busy with the new arrival one of Isaac's aunties came over to look after him and his brother. Isaac in his generous way felt that he ought to build his auntie a railway track and this was the result.
What is interesting on this layout is that Isaac has taken the track Y points that came with his engine shed and maintenance shed and used them in a novel way. The Y points were made so a single track to the shed could serve the two bays, but Isaac has turned one round so trains can either return to the main line or to a siding. For the other bay the Y point has a more conventional layout, but the second route is the continuation of the main line.
Another thing to note is that once out on the main track all routes will always lead you back to the shed, unless you use the timetable. This was a simple layout, quite small by Isaac's standards, but often his small layouts are where he experiments before moving tried and tested idea out to a larger layout.
