My layout is a Cyril Freezer plan, but I had a little more room that the dimensions shown in the plan book, so was able to "stretch" things to fit. One crossover on a curve would not fit - so I left it out.

Ha ha, i kniw that's not exactly what you're saying but I've never heard a modeller saying he had more room than was needed!
I guess CJF has inspired more modellers than any other single author so all credit to him for that - and maybe it's all to the good that it takes a bit of experience to spot any flaws or hazards in a design before taking it off the drawing board.
As for me I think that if I've ever grand enough to have a Mission Statement it wud be "Striving to be average' or something like that
Meanwhile I've ordered and paid for some extra points for my newfangled double track fiddle yard only to be offered some by a friend ...
