The Fiddle Yard

The fiddle yard from the church end.  There are nine roads, with a couple of sidings off at this end and a turntable (on the right).  The point motors are ex GPO relays, modified to drive the point stretchers and utilising their built in switches to change the crossing polarity.  By the turntable is a small loud speaker, this is part of the sound system, whereby I am able to blow the engines whistle.

The fiddle yard from the other end, I suppose I should have tidied up before taking the pictures.  The main line at the bottom is laid in concrete sleepers.
