...However others may have had a different experience with this.

As I've indicated, I did.

Perhaps worth experimenting with before building an entire layout using them.

Dear All

So, thanks for all the advice. I really appreciate it and I think I am close to having the first step in the planning process complete. I changed the point near the school into a Y to prevent the reverse curve, and maintained the larger Mainline points elsewhere "on the scene". Next step will be to knock up a mock up and make sure it all looks right!

Will post some pictures of the mock up, and also a few of the baseboard when I get something worth photographing! Exciting times here in the Yukon - the snow is melting, temperatures are above zero and spring may be over by next week!

Cheers

Stephen

Although it is shorter than the mainline points the 009 Y point has the same 18 inch radii as the mainline points.
