Following on from my previous blog entry, I have again ventured into the world on Templot (it becomes easier each time ).

This time I have taken on board some of my own thoughts and input from others. I have put the whole visible section on a 10'0" constant radius curve. I have also narrowed the gap between the running line and loop (i'm not sure about this change).

The revised plan can be seen in the photo's below (again with some stock on to give me a better idea of what the plan would look like). The platform is 18" long, and I think that it might not be long enough (the whole fits in about 4'6"), and to increase the length will probably mean having 2 boards rather than the one I had hoped to have.

Having looked at the revised plan over a couple of days, I am now wondering if it would be better if the curve went the other way so that the loop and sidings would be on the outside of the bend, as this would give more room in the yard area.
