Let me put my thoughts clearer.
1. I don't believe my post was deleted deliberately - I've always found the Warris Bros., to be most helpful.
2. If you want good free flowing track you don't want a straight section in the middle. What I'm considering, for example, is trackage as you would find in tight situations like Brooklyn where a spur goes off in one direction but in order to make the angle the line first goes through a turnout in the opposite direction, balloons out then crosses the track it just left in a curved crossing. There are plenty of example of this.
As to whether I should send a PM to the Warris'; yes that would work but I believe the point of BBs like this one is to share information with anyone who cares to read it.
As it happens I'll probably follow the route of using Templot.
Best, Pete.
PS Nice work jglfan. Thanks for sharing. Who's track gauges/type do you use?
