Hi,
Two important related events, MR April '19 just dropped through the letter box and I have spent the last hour marvelling at Rob's effort. Just spotted the use of code 75 streamline, a practice that I vowed to avoid but many years ago I was equally impressed by Ralph Burrow's Wanhurst in MRJ 174 published in early 2007 which used a combination of streamline turnouts and RTP plain BH track.
A pragmatic choice would be to use Ralph's idea and to recycle my stock of Peco solenoid turnout actuators with added microswitches thus solving the problem of failing manual dexterity (Parkinsons) and lack of depth under the baseboards.
Finally, a trip to B&Q is planned
