thanks, super. that back layout is for trams, so the track is level with the road and not visible at a distance. more photos here http://wanganuimodelrailway.weebly.com/
the search through the boxes found no 3 way points of any kind, but i have been given measurements of tomix henry and his coaches, so can factor that into the plans. i will likely lay temporary track the right length and can then build around it somewhat. next year i hope to replace the whole lot with tomix or kato, as the existing stuff is covered with paint and plaster.
anyway, i lifted part of the track on thursday, as rob suggested pushing the points back to allow for longer sidings. the points will go back, but not the central loop. instead, eventually, two 3 way points will come off each.
henry's coaches are 17cm long each, and theres 3, hence the rear rolling stock siding will now be 3 lines. hopefully, one line for henry, one for percys mail coach [2-3 i think] and one for troublesome trucks [4 different ones].
