Hello all!

Firstly, a Happy New Year to everyone.

Secondly, I have attached a picture here of part of my projected layout. Does anyone know if the curves marked out with the arrows should be transitions? At the moment they're not but it dawned on me that maybe they should even though they are only carriage sidings.

Regards

Alan McMillan

I don't know.  But I do know from experience of similar loops that you need a tiny bit of transition just to get the tracks to join up nicely.

Hi Richard

Thanks for that - I've tried it and it does look better.
