Help With Trackplan Please!

[Dikitriki]

Hi

I have been asked to provide a trackplan for Heyside for the Railex exhibition guide, and I do not have one.... nor do I have the expertise to produce one suitable for publication.

Does any kind soul wish to/ have the ability to produce one from my sketches/pictures/site visit?

I am looking for something like that produced to accompany the layouts in the BRM magazine or similar, or perhaps like those drawn by Iain Rice.

Any takers?

Thanks in advance.

Can you provide an example of a BRM trackplan or an Ian Rice drawing that you wish to replicate? PM it if you like, I'll get the lads in the studio to knock something up.

That's a very kind offer Steve. I'll get my act together and pm you - might be after the weekend as I shall need to prepare something first.

Will you be showing us on here, Richard ?.

Perfectly happy to, it's not a secret

I'm just aware how much you'd all fall about laughing if I produced it myself.

Well i'm hoping to stop over with Rob, Ross & Phill at Telford next year, so hopefully i'll get to see your layout in the flesh.

Richard,

I wonder if the Templot diagram of the Heyside re-build plan would help Steve - it would give accurate lengths and widths and also the accurate track placements up to the station limits at each end. I'm just looking at that plan right now and thought that it might be of help (nicking the curved crossover to try in Martyn's layout plan. )

In fact I'll attach a Sketchboard file here. The grid is pitched at 150mm

That should come in handy Jim. I'll wait to see what style I'm producing it to before I start.

Unbelievably, we're going camping for the weekend tomorrow. I have a feeling it wil be cancelled...
