... in the '70s I returned to it on retirement. Started in N gauge but soon found that it did not meet my pre grouping interests so moved to 2mmFS. My real road to Damascus moment was building my first 2mm track. It just looked right, even allowing for my uneven soldering so consigned the N gauge track to the toy box. I ... skills I am planning to produce, with the aid of Templot, a model of Charwelton based on the 1900 survey, when it was a simple through station and small goods yard. Can anybody advise me as to the timbering used on turnouts by the GCR when the London Extension was built? Also are they likely to have used a standard V crossing ... on most turnouts or would each one have been determined by location? Lastly they used 30' rails and 9' sleepers with 11 sleepers per length; how far in from the rail ends for the first and last sleepers on each rail length? I have asked this on the GCR forum but this did not produce enough detailed info. I hope this ...

That lengthens the turnouts, making an easier radius in the outer turnout.

... Depending on the era when the prototype is supposed to have been built, the Board of trade might frown upon a facing point into a siding (and, as an Arrival Road it is a bit short).
