With Ubuntu closing the Unbuntu-One cloud site I've had to move a lot of files around, and came across the original Soddingham Templot file. Since O is out of the question on cost I started reading up on P4 and wondered what I could do in the space available 4mm. Why not OO? - well after O OO track just doesn't look right, both the gauge and the over-wide 6ft. Reading up on P4 suggested that 1000mm (~4ft) would need to be the minimum radius so more out of interest in Templot that anything else I bunged the 7mm plan into Templot and converted it to P4. It worked almost perfectly - only the single-slip, at 11ft by 12ft on the plan, needed anything more than tiny adjustments to length and/or curve. Half of the slip went over length and needed a bit of surgery to make it fit. Having fount that FB point components are a bit scarce on the ground I also converted everything to BH rail. The original was the area 'above' the 8ft line, and to the left of the 10ft line. Bearing in mind the 1000mm min radius I can indeed get a tail-chaser in, and with a branch line to boot that handily covers the weird track spacing on the right (result of the radius restriction). Happily, the in-scene double track rather to my surprise also gives clearance (according to the 'roll vehicle' tool) - so a nice close (as in it's unchanged from the O version) 6ft in the visible bits. The background shapes file show the roof trusses that cause the unusual shape.

It'll never get built, but it was fun doing it. And I've just realised that I've not done the double-slip in the branch line terminus. Damn.

You could always try it in EM which might make it a bit easier......
