So after some manic days at work feeling to tired to do anything I finally got to play a bit with Templot and have firstly done the non 3 way version but feel this is not as elegant as the 3 way one that I roughly tried out, so some more playing with is needed to make this fit the area unless I go for the 3way challenge. It all needs tidying up and the timbers shoving etc, but the starting point has been made. Comments on any possible improvements greatfully accepted.

I have which will be a touch over 4' 6" or 1350mm for the modernists out there with a bit more on to cover the fiddle cassettes.

Today I acquired a piece of MDF so I can now build points on a nice flat surface and it will be big enough to fit an 1:8 slip on and with an off-cut I plan to make a test track that I try out locos in both DC and DCC and which can double up as a photo opportunity location.
