... but this is the concept I'm trying to get towards. The tricky bit of course being the 3 way with 2 diamonds right in front of it. I may have to rethink this, but I think it would be very interesting to operate. As I'm just starting out, I would start with some straight track, then work on a standard switch before I even work up to this. I can shave just under a foot off each side I think. And for some reason the bottom right track hasn't been rendered. 3662_291327_350000000.png posted: 29 Apr 2020 20:06 from: Martin Wynne Hi Andrew, Welcome to Templot Club. Thanks for posting your plan. The diamonds shouldn't be too much trouble. But you have drawn a 3-throw turnout. Unless you are an experienced track builder, I strongly recommend that you change that to a tandem turnout. For some explanation, see: http://templot.com/companion/3_way_tandem_turnouts.php If you attach your .box file here, we can have a closer look. cheers, Martin. posted ...
