The trackwork for the station area is now complete, all soldered together into a single piece. These are the live tracks, and additional dummy tracks for the rest of the loco depot and the headshunt / carriage siding next to the main line will be added as part of the scenery. The next tasks are cutting out the plywood trackbed to support it and attaching the electrical connectors to the underside of the track.
Since Penzance is a terminus station, departing trains need to be turned around so a reversing loop is necessary. The station also had a short turntable, before the loco depot moved to Longrock (Ponsandane) the next year.
