Hello.
DCC Concepts have pointed me towards Templot. I'm very impressed and inspired by what I've seen so far.
I wish to build a 4mm/00 scale model of Oxted as it was in BR(S) days. I've drawn the track plan and it's clear I shall need to hand-build the S&C.
Oxted had a cramped yard, which included a 3-throw tandem turnout, toe to toe with another turnout. The 3-throw tandem plan on the Templot website is exactly what I need to replicate. One of the challenges is that a couple of the tie-bars pass through the centre switch blades (tricky in 4mm).
Your comment on the website says "difficult to build". This appears to be the key to my entire project, so, can it be done? I'm quite practical and I've bought the tools I need for the job.
Kind regards
Brian
