caption_attribution_description: This is an A3 sheet of foamboard. The area marked out is 40cm x 25cm, which fits the rules for the ExpoNG 2008 layout challenge. By using mostly type 1 (scale 13'3") radius curves and points from the Hudson portable track system I believe it will be possible to fit a "traditional" 5/3/3 Inglenook shunting puzzle in to this space, in 7mm/ft scale. This requires a long siding capable of holding 5 wagons (bottom/left), two sidings for 3 wagons and a headshunt for 3 wagons and a loco. With a total of 8 wagons "in play" the object is to assemble a train on the long siding of 5 wagons in a pre-determined order.
context_page_description: Inglenook Sidings, created by Alan Wright, is a model railway train shunting puzzle. It consists of a specific track layout, a set of initial conditions, a defined goal, and rules which must be obeyed while performing the shunting operations.
  More broadly, in model railway usage inglenook may refer to a track layout that is based on or resembles the Inglenook Sidings puzzle.
context_section_description: The track is based on Kilham Sidings, on the Alnwick-Cornhill branch of the North Eastern Railway (NER). The sidings should be able to accommodate 5, 3, and 3 wagons, the leading spur accommodating 3 wagons and the locomotive. For the original version of the puzzle there are 8 wagons in the sidings, the rule being:
  Form a train of 5 wagons selected at random of a specific order from the 8 wagons.
