Replacing R1 points with R3

[Rob]

Done!



All that remains to be done is ballasting and reinstating the carriage siding, which will be a little longer this time. I’m hoping it won’t take too long for the mind your own business to regrow....

Did you need that extra bit of guard rail past the switch on the right hand side? Seems strange, although that is a "S" curve (I think you guys call it a reverse curve)

It’s just an off cut piece of rail. It’s now been moved.

Point, check rail and yes, reverse curve

The curves look very nice and "natural"... have you had a chance to test and demonstrate the much smoother running of your trains yet! Definitely no longer looks "toylike"

I’ve tested it briefly with my 2095 to make sure there were no issues and all of the clearances were ok.

I agree entirely, it looks so much better!

No. 9 making use of the new pointwork....
