Choice of track

No competition really. I’m going with Peco finescale code 55, with electrofrog points. I’m also trying to use large radius points only in the scenic areas, as they look better. I’ll mainly use curved points on the Beattock Summit bend.

Fiddle yard, when I’ve decided how this will work, will use any code 55 point, so long as it’s cheap.

I've acquired some second hand track and points on eBay, at roughly half the retial price. I may have bought too many points (or the wrong type) but I should be able to sell these again to recover any expense. I also picked up a scissors crossing, which I intend to use on the Beattock Station track plan. It's not strictly prototypical, but necessary due to compression of the track plan into the space available. I bought the scissors on eBay from the US! Amazingly it was cheaper to have it shipped from there than pick one up locally. A mad world.
