The Dolton Junction module, which will initially be a staging module to stage one train for the Dolton Industry park and one for the Illinook module. It may be used later on as a transition module to a more elaborate staging module if space permits.

Originally this module was going to be used to stage trains for both Dolton and Illinook, with a track running behind Dolton to link upwith Illinook. But having it linked up to just Dolton seems like a better option. I will probably build a separate staging module for Illinook.

This photo shows the very basic track plan. 2 turnouts and about 1 metre (3 feet) of track was about all it needed to get to this stage of construction. The track plan allows for future expansion to the left or right

The module will eventually be sceniced, which will give me another place to shoot photos of my trains. As there is a bit of room along the back, and along the front, I might add some buildings in there, and maybe a spur or two.
