Hi,
To enable me to experiment with any/all things electronic, related to model railways, I'm building a test/experimental layout that will fold and fit in an old but sturdy wheely suitcase. This is, of necessity, going to be OO9 with minimum radius curves.
Trying to keep the cost down I'm looking for some second hand Peco Setrack OO9 turnouts; I will need 5 LH units (ST-405) and at least 5 (up to 9) RH units (ST-406). I am also looking for an N gauge diamond crossing (SL-393) and plain Setrack might also be useful although I have a reasonable amount of OO9 and N flexitrack already.
So, does anyone have any they would be willing to part with for a modest consideration?

P.S. If anyone's interested this is the plan. The curves leading to the crossing are a nadge too tight according to AnyRail but I'm hoping that I can make it work. If not, I'll make do with a single reverse loop until such time as I can make my own crossing*. The sidings in the left loop are not definite yet but there will be something there.
*Anyone know where I can get hold of an adjustable (0 ° - 90 °) rail filing jig!?
OK, so how do I get an image into the post!!!?
At the risk of filling this thread...

1) click on REPLY rather than use the "Quick reply" box at the foot

2) when this reply window opens, you'll see "Click or drag files here to attach them" Click on this

3) It will open a local explorer window on your PC
Ah, thank you. I missed that!
NOTE
There are some rules here - you can only upload .JPGs or .GIFs (if your .JPG files are labelled as .JPEG, it won't see them, but if you rename them to .JPG it will)
You are limited to 300kb files size per post, so it helps to edit the images down using an image editing program (I usually scale mine down to a maximum of 800 pixels in width or height, whichever is the larger) You can add as many images to a single post as fit into the 300 kb limit

4) The selected image will appear as a thumbnail - click the blue up-arrow

A little drpp-down box appears when you can select the displayed image size - if your image is large you can put in what you wish it to appear as - click INSERT to add the image
Note there is a litle line alone the bottom of the dialogue box that shows ho wmuch of the 300kb you have used so far

5) the line of text is the place-marker where the image will appear in the post - it is put where you text cursor was when you clicked on "Click or drag..." You can cut and paste it anywhere into you rpost if you don't like where the software has put it.
Hope this helps
This method works for images on your own (local) PC
You can display images from an image hosting site (such as imgur) by using the "insert an image" icon just to the right of the YouTube icon - you will need to supply the hyperlink to the image - how you get that depends on your chosen image hosting site...
Apologies for the bad typing!
Thanks Hugh. Image edited into place now.
