Hi Martin,
just a quick question re the 6 foot way? is 6 foot always the minimum?
The reason for the question can be seen in the first photo, which is a screen shot of Templot lay over on a NSL map of that section of Heaton Norris the red ringed area is where there at there closest.
The rails are set at 6 foot way centers but as can be seen there not neatly alighting with maps rail position, out of curiosity I dug out a couple of Photos of that section and came to the conclusion, unless there is a bit of a optical illusion going on, with the the photos they seem to back up the map. IE the gap is something less than a 6 foot way. I also ran the dummy vehicle which showed a sixty foot coach would not clear if something was coming up the down slow at the same time.
If the 6 foot is the bare minimum then I would have to push both running lines over a bit more to the island platform, or pull the S&T track back a bit from the down slow line.
At this point I though better ask the track expert, or experts
Cheers
