Hi
I hope you're not soldering the track sections together? :o
This shouldn't really be done as then there is no allowance for expansion or contraction of the rails :)
Sorry I should have been clearer :D

I meant solder the dropper wires on.

We've worked up a plan in AnyRail to use an acceptable amount of his bedroom for an OO layout. See https://www.dropbox.com/s/1p8df8znjq8quhf/Plan.any?dl=0 for the AnyRail file. We've realised we can go into the window aperture to minimise the depth of the layout while keeping to a minimum of 500mm radius curves. There are gradients but they're all 3% or below. Can anyone see any issues with what we're planning? My one remaining concern is reach but we'll test the basic main board before filling it out with braces...

Your link suggests the file at that location has been deleted. Can you try again? R-

Thanks, I’m not sure what’s happened there. I’ll try and rectify it…

It turned out that file sharing service was for one-off use, the file was deleted after the first download. Try https://www.dropbox.com/s/1p8df8znjq8quhf/Plan.any?dl=0 ?

Thanks!

My Dropbox account ceased ages ago. Can you post a screen shot on here? R-

I tried the Dropbox link in an incognito window before posting it and if you dismiss the login request, you can download the file without signing into Dropbox.
