I started off looking to create a freightyard for some shunting/switching fun to actually have a purpose to operate (i.e. play) with my trains. The trackplan still has some work to be done on it and my "industries" will have have a strong brewery presence due to what distinctive wagons I've been able to get at a reasonable price i.e. :
Yellow = Cardinal Beer (2 cars)
Black = Lokeim Beer (2 cars)
Blue = Lowenbrau (beer again)
Green = R Blank (Vegetables and flowers)
Misc: two green open wagons, 1 brown open wagon and 1 grey box car
Ultimately it would be good to have some tank wagons and something based around white/red but we've got enough for now.
Reading the various magazine articles plus some searching on the web has brought up a couple of good sites which feature track plans and puzzles:
Large Scale Central features two puzzles, Riverside and Inglenook Sidings which are computer puzzles where you move the train, uncouple it, move the points etc. (I take no responsibility for any time wasted trying to solve these puzzles online).
Model Railway Shunting Puzzles features Timesaver and Inglenook puzzles, along with a piece about mathematic equations and solving them.
Trackplan is to be looked at in the light of these puzzles, and of course what space I have.
