Hey all:
Question one:
Is there a problem with joining the point ends of two turnouts together? Assume that you will rarely, if ever, travel on the possible "S" curve created from the two diverging rails.
Question two:
Is there a good way to lay "temporary" track? What I want to do is to make a track to allow continuous running until the second phase of tracking laying starts, then remove it.
In the diagram, the blue is the first phase permanent track, the black is the second phase permanent track, and the red the temporary track. (When the black goes in, the red comes out, so what looks like turnouts aren't.)
I guess the main thing is to lay it so that it doesn't cause operational problems, but is very easy to remove. Appearance of not a major concern. Will be putting it onto 1" or 1-1/2" thick foam.
Thanks
Bill K
