Hi Michael
Well done for all this prototype work and producing a superb design which I think will be useful to many. I remember our founder member Mark sending me several photos of the Illawarra trackwork some years ago and I would have dearly loved to have visited it when we were down under last year.
Some suggestions if I may:
1 There is usually a fishplated joint in the stockrails soon after the hinge - obviously cosmetic for us modellers.
2 I have found a bit of gauge widening (0.3mm ish) added during construction in the curve between the hinge and crossing/frog helps with longer wheelbase locos. The crossing itself is best kept to gauge.
Best Regards
John
