OO GAUGE · HORNBY SETRACK · 6 × 4 FT
Oval with a three-road goods yard
Three sidings fanned out inside a 1st radius oval. You get continuous running round the outside and a small yard to shunt wagons in and out, all within the footprint of the basic oval.

Good to know
- Each siding holds a short loco and two or three wagons, which is plenty for shunting.
- All three points are left-hand, so the yard fans out neatly at Hornby's 67mm track spacing.

Checked with the First Radius geometry engine: every joint meets, the track fits the board with the space shown, and no tracks overlap. Figures use Hornby's published setrack geometry; real track has a millimetre or two of play.
