Catch Point & Constable Jeffries

One evening while operating the railway I realized I omitted something in my track design at Windrush Junction.  The exit from the goods yard onto the main wasn't protected from loose wagons by means of a catch point.  In our ever condensed O scale world I doubt that it is really accurate but I think it adds rather then detracts from the scene.  I've added a "Detail Matters" ground signal, non operating.  Someday I'll get around to point rodding & signal cables.  I'm sure I've broken dozens of "rules of the prototype",  but for me it's all about creating an impression, not total accuracy.


Oh,  and speaking of WJ,  the village of Windrush now has a Constable to deal with law breakers and keep the peace.  Constable Jeffries is now on the job.
