Because I was wrong about the OS plan being in Crown Copyright (Martin W pointed out that the 50 year rule applies, so my 1953 plan is out of copyright), here is the track plan superimposed on the 1:2500 so that you can see the extent and where everything goes.

I had got stuck yesterday with not knowing how BR(SR) organised the timbers under points and crossings, but again Martin came to the rescue with a definitive answer. The timbers are usually square to the main running line for a post 1920 layout like this with the exception being at diamond crossings and slips where the timbers are equalised to the crossing nose. So today in the spare time between Protocab testing (and believe me, after all the detailed testing and calculations a spell on Templot is very welcomed!) I have been shifting timbers and converting the remaining running lines to flat bottom. Again, I didn't know whether the Southern mounted its conductor rail insulators on extended sleepers but answers came thick and fast through the forum and from a lengthy and very comprehensive treatise by Russ Elliott http://homepage.ntlworld.com/russelliott/3rd-4th.html

No excuse now for not getting on, just a lot of desk time to finish off the templates.
