Dead end sidings is set up as an inglenook shunting puzzle to allow the general public to test their shunting skills to make up a train.
There are three sidings with eight wagons and a shunting locomotive. Five picture cards are chosen at random and the "shunter" has to make up the wagons into a train in the order picked out. There is a single line and platform at the back where a DMU shuttles back and forth providing a passenger service.
Have a go and test your shunting ability!
