Sturminster_Newton Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Initially planning using a selection of set track segments from my collection of MyWorld plastic track. with standard OO/HO R1 and R2 curves, meant I soon had the basic railway laid out. Then, like many, I looked at practical embellishments, in this case two 'fiddling/storage yards' beyond the scenic areas. I needed a practical means to connect these yards to each other and the rest of the layout. Thoughts turned to whether a double slip, two facing/trailing crossings or two Y points joined toe to toe would be employed. In the real world cost would rule as much as practical considerations, so two Y points would score highly. But two facing trailing crossings would connect either yard to its twin or either leg of the scenic part of the layout. A double slip is less space hungry but also maintenance heavy but also in with a chance if only for the 'operational flexibility' it would bring. Assume 'Rule One*' will not be the mark of compliance in this case. (*Rule One it's my line I'll do as I please.)

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted September 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 9, 2020 Why don't you use sausage rolls for sleepers? I'm sorry but that made absolutely no sense to me whatsoever apart from it being a list of track parts. A track diagram and some form of descriptor might get some sensible responses.
