Looking good!! I've a love of the curved point myself, it lets you create a lovely flow to trackwork.

Great idea jhb.... I'll add something to the Resources section and start compiling... we can then add in all submissions!

Absolutely lovely Kirley - dripping with the feel of a slightly damp evening, with just a bit of chill in the air

I've butchered the peco points a bit, removing the spring, trimming off the 'handles' on them and soldering jumpers to power them directly (and cutting the default wiring connecting the frog to the blade). This way, the motors can do their thing and they maintain the tension when thrown to hold the blade in place, and each point is a self-contained powered unit, with insulating joiners to the rest of the layout. This way you're not depending on the point at all to conduct and can weather the bejaysus out of them, including the point blades, and just keep the surface of the rail clean. I've used woodlands almost everywhere, with a run of Noch / Gaugemaster ballasted underlay too. Both work well but once ballasted the noise deadening isnt' fantastic either way! (still a lot better than cork though!)

Thanks for the feedback and comments lads. As Rich says, I run the site and give what time I have to give it for the joy of the hobby and the pleasure of the learning and banter on here Ably assisted by those more 'senior' members and hard working moderators to keep things ticking along in the right direction and spread the good word! In between I try to find time to run a few businesses and build Amiens Street, in between three kids On the contributions, that's the big one - there are no questions too silly, no plans to crazy and no work too basic or 'beginnery' (is that a word!?) The community as a whole can only grow and benefit from the contributions of all its members and that, in truth, is the sole purpose of this little corner of the internet
