Hello Martin. Thanks for your offer to look at 'THAT' tandem for me. This isn't an issue of using Templot as I've done literally many 100s of this tandem over the years, none of which have ever looked right from every angle. I know this is rivet counting, but it's just this one piece of trackwork that I want to get to that detail level; many combinations will fit over the OS map well enough to satisfy 9,999 out of 10,000 people. I've set it as a B6.5/ C10. The switches are 100% correct as is the distance from toe 1 to toe 2. So it has to be the Vs. I've tried 7/10, 7.5/11, 6/8... All are in RAM but I can't see that making enough difference.
This is the heel:
This is the toe:
The only thing I can conclude is the first straight check has been moved a timber or so in order to fit, rather than fitting a cut down version.
If you can spot what I've missed, I'd be very happy. I planned this as a tribute to my late Dad- a Whitby based Driver at one time- and I think I'll be 'late' before I ever start at this rate.
Many thanks
Derek
