Hi to All, New to the forum's although been watching and reading for several years. Was an avid railway modeller for most of my younger years (over 30 years ago). Finally at age 57 I can afford to indulge myself and build another layout for fun. Also love DIY and Airguns. So, let's get to it then. I had built myself a 6x4 layout on a sheet of 16mm mdf but I got bored with the simple double oval so have removed everything and started over. I am ok with a double oval but wanted a bit more in the way of sidings and curves instead of just straight sidings. I really like Track Plan 2E so have started on that but covid-19 has put a stop to purchasing the extra track that I need for now. What I really need help with is identifying all the track needed, especially whether the diamond crossing is LH or RH and the standard curves in the sidings, are they 1st or 2nd radius. Does anyone know if there is a comprehensive list of track needed for this layout. Another thing that I cannot figure out is why the clear canopy from my town station that goes over two tracks no longer fits, it is now too wide? my tracks seem to be at the correct distance apart so not sure what have I done wrong. Need to sort it as the platforms look bare otherwise. I have purchased most of my rolling stock and loco's from Ebay UK and had it posted over, so far I have: Class 25, Class 35, Class 37, Class 43, Class 55 and Class 56 all in BR Blue/Yellow of course 🤐 + 4 x Inter City Mk2, 4 x Intercity Mk3 carriages and 10 x assorted tankers. Currently researching how to build scenery, other than that I'm good.
