That looks great Sid. I like the track down the back of the station.
Your reverse curves appear to have straights in between - so no problem.

My Return Loop now behind the Shed laid very temporary to see if it fits :)

Went for one line in front of the Second station and one behind so if I go to single line running the back line just gets removed.

Calluna now open for passengers.

Back to the drawing board this week think I sort of have a plan that gets the line behind the Garden Shed to turn around misses SWIMBO's Flowering current tree, and just leaves enough room to squeeze in between the first bride and the corner of the shed, to clear the line and clean it.

A chain saw would have been an easier option to get round the tree :wasntme: just have no idea how to support the curve bits yet.

Some form of anti-grav device, automatically adjustable for variations in the planet's magnetic flux and mass of the trains. :nerd:

If you crack that one, you'll be rich enough to buy all the trains you want..... ;)

Made a Bridge this week, Isambard would be proud of it ROFL..it fills the hole for now winters project to made a proper one.

Swimbo's plant seems to have moved from when I measured it..... so had a redesign decided to raise the whole area to support the track all the bits of wood and bricks will disappear when the whole area gets raised, more civil engineering :)

Ignore the points on the Left I ran out of curves :)

Looking good - ideally you want a short straight between the curves on a reverse curve :nod::nod::nod:

Going to play with the curve once the bed has been finished and filled to see it I can get a better shape also going to try to get a straighter line from the curve that leaves the bridge to where it joins into the curve around the tree...but had to join it up so I could run Train's again :)

Yep, bodgers like me would do a bit of belly bending to ease the curves - works a treat ;););)

Even with the 150 ft of second hand flexi-track that I bought to help complete the WWNR, it was easier to belly bend the flexi rather than use the previously enjoyed rail bender :rock::rock::rock:

What radius is a 'Rhino-belly'?
