Once the first flexitrack was laid, subsequent tracks became easier. The points have just been installed without motors at present as the space constraints make it too difficult and I wanted to make some progress. If time permits I'll revisit this area, otherwise point control will have to wait till the next layout.

The east side of the fiddle yard is accessed through Peco 3 left-handed small radius points, each of which has a Peco left-handed curved point attached. This causes the single track to fork into 7 tracks, five of which can be seen in Figure 45 to 48.

Some rolling stock on show. The coaches and driving trailers were used to check clearances on the curves.

To lay the straight track I purchased a cheap laser level to guide the line and used the tracksetta template to pin down sections.
