Hi all,
I'm looking for advice on my track plan. The scene is rural end of branch line, with a small station and a couple of industries - specially cattle and wool (the mill is the main feature). I have been researching, reading "How to design a small switching layout" by Lance Mindheim, and also "60 plans for small locations" by CJ Freezer.
I previously posted in probably the wrong part of the forum. I include it just to compare how plans have evolved.
I thought I'd try my little operation with the Peco bullhead points:
... removing one sleeper from one point and two from the other.
This isn't quite so satisfactory with the large radius points as in order to get the same angle of divergence at the end of the unit, the track continues to curve through and after the crossing, whereas for the medium radius points, the curve finishes before the crossing and the rail is straight through and beyond the crossing.
