More points! The regular LH and RH points were nos 3 and 4 that I have made, and I think I "got it" as far as simple straight turnouts are considered. I also made a 3-way using a diagram, my jigs, and a bit of math! I need to make one more LH turnout, and then will have enough for the track plan. I also need to figure out how to make a little wagon turntable. Many of the former Bristol & Gloucestershire Railway's stations had a very compact layout, with the goods shed, signal box, station building, and platforms all in a couple hundred linear feet, and numerous sidings and the goods shed accessible via opposing turnouts and a wagon turntable. I will be making a "what if" BLT, but following that same basic design.
Here's the 3 good turnouts I have made so far, plus a few period wagons for the Midland in the early 19-teens.
