Time to Start Track Building

Well after a quite a while getting back to grips with Templot and a LOT of help from @martin_wynne I have a track plan finalised.
There will be some changes in levels, as the exit road(s) will have a small incline through a rocky cutting and the siding leading off the Y will be for side tippers unloading into to conveyor that takes spoil over the loop track onto the raised hillside at the back.
It really got complex at the front of the layout, with all that mixed gauge trackwork and even a couple of "half K" arrangements so that it is impossible to set a road that causes derailments - also meant that the narrow gauge exit from the dual gauge does not need any moving switch blades 
The half K on the right is wrong I know, I might have yet another go before I start building, but the roller gauges will help me position it better anyway. Oh and it's OO-SF, I'm hoping that the 1mm flangeways will not lead to too much wheel drop of the OO-9 stock. I might be able to tweak some of them to 0.75mm depending on back to backs etc, we shall see.
