... and that you have pressed this only once (or an odd number of times), so that the peg arms are aligned along the main road as shown. 8. 06:25- 06:35 Set F5 options to allow any crossing angle (fully variable instead of snapping to nearest 1/4 unit angles). 9. 06:35- 06:50 Select F5 mouse action to adjust the crossing angle. Then immediately right-click and lock the switch on the menu. The info bar changes to pink to indicate that the switch is locked and won't change. (Normally F5 changes the switch size to match the crossing angle for a sensible turnout. If this happens here it would make matching the rails confusing). 10. 06:50- 07:05 Adjust the crossing angle until this V-crossing matches the underlying rails on the 1st and 2nd turnouts. On my example you will see that the result is a crossing angle of 1:5.15 (RAM). (On the prototype the nearest standard 1 ...

... , but I still feel that the track plan is solid. The throat of the station on my layout looks like below: aYx2cxc.png My thoughts (as you can see above) are now to hand-lay rather than use ready-to-plonk components for the asymmetric threeway and the diamond- and generally I'm fairly comfortable with how this would work. The lack of a Peco bullhead-double slip has made me realise however, that if I'm going to hand lay that too- then the whole area indicated by the pink line above can be laid almost however is required. The only restriction, is that on the adjacent baseboard there is an expectation that the track will flow nicely into the platform roads. Here's a picture showing the two roughly mated (and the peco double-slip in-situ) to give an idea: EkcxXLw.png The two exits of the double slip go either side of an island platform, whose length I'd like to keep as long as is feasible. My question is- knowing all this, is there something I ...
