Last weekend we got another couple days of warm weather, so I was able to complete #1 Arrival track, including the connections with the 90 degree crossing into the porch and all of the related switches!
You can see a real-life photo of #1 Arrival in this 1936 postcard I recently found on ebay - the track right behind the row of baggage carts. The tracks in the foreground are the Southern Railway mainline and the depot house track. Note the Cornelia apple monument at the edge of the postcard on the right.
Back on my version of the TFRR, you can see I also added a switch to the Departure track - the tangent that runs along the fence at the far left. This will allow addition of a caboose track, which is a little parking area for cabooses that allows them to be easily added to outgoing trains or detached from incoming trains.
At that point I ran out of track, so completion of #2 Arrival track and the caboose track will have to wait a bit longer...
