Lacathedrale Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hello fellow modellers, I was hoping to get started on laying some track for my layout today or tomorrow. It is a hybrid of Peco Bullhead and hand-laid OO-SF pointwork. I've laid track in a few scales before and not had too much trouble, but never attempted a three-way or a diamond before. So, with that - here is what I'm dealing with: My initial thought is to lay the rearmost route of the three-way and the adjacent vee, but i really have no clear idea! Thanks!

RMweb Premium Ian Smeeton Posted March 25, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hi William, I know that I am in 2mm and you are in 4 for this, But some of the build sequence for my diamond, Single slip & tandem are in this thread. Apart from that, posting on Hayfields Hand built track thread mught give a better answer Regards & stay safe Ian 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Freeman Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Experience says that it is best to start in the middle and work outwards. Best for most P&C 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted March 27, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 27, 2020 As Stephen has stated, start with the centre common crossing of the tandem turnout and then I would work towards getting the other common crossings in place. I also fit droppers as I'm going to the crossings. I use brass lace making pins and snip them off about 10mm below and baseboard and put a square with a marker pen, so that I can spot it again when I do the wiring.
