... puts the turnouts at the front for better access. In each case it is possible to use turnouts with similar flexure (positive curving) or the opposite hand with contraflexure (negative curving). That makes 4 options to choose from. Where there is a specified smallest radius, in this case 915mm, it is probably better to have this running as the ruling curve to save the most space. This means putting the ladder on the inside curve with turnouts having contraflexure. In this case that means left-hand turnouts: 2_101312_060000000.png For a fiddle yard we are not concerned with prototype accuracy, we can use whatever geometry produces the optimum result. For these turnouts I used the 1:32 short model switches, with 1:7 V-crossings. This is the result, with your original in white. The roads are a bit longer than yours, but not by very much: 2_101320_100000000.png Over to you. I can post the .box file if you wish? regards, Martin. posted: 10 Dec 2014 20:59 from: Godfrey ...
