It's been a long while since I made a turnout for my layouts. This evening I started fiddling with the bits of rail and sleeper I had laying around on the desk, and before I know it, and without initially intending to, I had started building another turnout. It's an H0e (9mm) right hand #7 with 700mm radius, same as all the others I have made. However, for the first time, I built this one using gauges. Normally I use a vernier calliper to get the gauge correct. Well, I can honestly say this was a revelation. I built this turnout in under 2 hours, and it just went together. No need to fettle with it to make it run smoothly, it just worked. So far it seems to be the smoothest turnout I have made. I am really pleased with it.
