This is great. It’s so great I put it in the header of the newsgroup. however I think it’s missing some other info, specifically some of the diagonal stuff that was asked about recently and a few other tricks. I’d love to see it enhanced to include that info too.

Spotlighted.

Thanks!

If you can send me (email please) links to that other info, as well as any critques (I’m unsure about some of the terminology, for instance), I would be happy to update it accordingly.

Bill,

It looks great.
Here's a post I made on alternate track geometries a while back.
Feel free to use any of the ideas shown.

Also, I would put a little more emphasis on the fact that a straight can be
used to replace 2 alternating curves coming off a switch, in order to shorten
90 degree curves. You have it incorporated in the crossover and wye, but it
could stand on it's own.
Play well.
