| I've toyed with the idea of modifying the points (switches): By removing a section of the turnout, two points can be placed turnout-to-turnout while keeping standard track centres and maintaining an overall length of 3 straights ;-) ...have a play (...) (23 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.trains)
