Thanks to all - I will try some of these options. As to track plans being track plans its just not true. For instance when I'm modelling continental europe I would use loops instead of dead end sidings, if I was modelling the Great Western I would build for right hand running, If I was modelling modern BR I would use single lead junctions instead of double track junctions with diamonds, I would rarely put a wye in a British layout, I'd use double slips for certain companies and tandem points for others - I'mn sure that UP is different to SP and so on in the same way. remember real railways are constrained by the cash available to build, the type of traffic they run and engineer's preferences. Its all important in getting that extra touch of reality as opposed to generic Railroadtown, anywhere, USA All the best Kevin
