I have to admit that I like Paul´s recent design very, very much. Key reason is its simplicity, which very much resembles the prototype. Narrow gauge lines had no frills at all, they were built with cost in mind. Also, the benchwork will be much simpler to construct than the water wing design. I´d like to raise a basic question. How important is staging for a narrow gauge line? Usually, those short lines had a limited roster of locos and cars, and also a very limited number of daily trains. Would one really need a staging facility for that type of operation? Do get me right, please - I am not against staging, but I´d never incorporate hidden staging into my layout. I also prefer the British word "fiddle yard" for staging - this is the place to "fiddle around" with your trains, for which you need access to it.
