Anyway, I persevered, which is just as well really as I have done a lot of adjustment to the station throat from the printed out Templot pages shown in the first page.These cookies help provide information on metrics the number of visitors, bounce rate, traffic source, etc. As such (and as I am about to embark on firing up the jigsaw and visiting the woodyard for a supply of timber), with a few offcuts of wood and some old chipboard that I had laying around, I thought I would mock up the scenics a bit, with the trackbed raised, just to make sure it would look as I had hoped and also to work out the best location for the houses I've constructed so far.

So, below is a photo of my first ever 3 way turnout, very much work in progress and causing a lot of head scratching and readjustment.The photos below show the print outs on the (as yet loose) baseboards; not all track has been included or printed out as I didn't want to waste paper / ink and it is the ones shown that are critical to each other, if you see what I mean.
