Traditionally fiddle yards and hidden loops, storage sidings, etc. have been constructed using soldered copper-clad construction.
Given recent price increases for copper-clad laminate, users of plug track for the main layout areas might feel that it would be more cost-effective to use it for the fiddle yard too. This also makes for easier construction without needing track gauges, etc.
If you ticked a box labelled "for fiddle yard" what changes would you expect to see in a template?
Alternate timbers omitted?
Plain track sleepers wider?
Timber webs and flanges thicker and chunkier?
Brick splints and connector clips stronger?
Chairs with delicate thin edges beefed up, wider jaw ribs, etc.?
Something else?
Most of these changes can be made manually now, but a single tick box to do it all in one go might be convenient.
Thanks for any thoughts.
