Here's the paper guillotine I use. I've probably had it over 5 years now and it's just as sharp as the day I bought it. Ideal for cutting the pages square and we use it for loads of other things around the home office. Makes trimming 50 sheets or so, very easy.

That looks really good, John, and I’ll look forward to seeing your beautiful pointwork as it develops...
 

Printing and sticking together all those templates really is great way of testing things out. It’s so much easier and cheaper than cutting wood and starting to lay track, which then has to be ripped up.

I often find something isn’t quite right and moving a turnout a few mm in either direction visually changes things for the better.

I’m amazed how many times even straightforward  plans have flaws that don’t become apparent until you lay it out full size.

Just make sure you have plenty of paper, sticky tape and print toner. Getting a large pair of scissors also helps. I got a very sharp pair of wallpaper scissors off Amazon for less than £5. Males life so much easier for cutting curved track beds.. I also use an A4 guillotine for cutting the template borders. I’ll dig out links to both items later today.

He did eventually start and got a great cheer from the crowd....

Thanks for sharing your build. Takes me back to Airfix Kits and Woolworths on a Saturday....

Hope you have more luck with yours...

Wow!....Stumbled in here whilst wandering round the site. That's superb...
