Advice needed for proposed new 009 layout

Post by Austinw »

This is a plan for a proposed new DCC 009 layout on a board 6'6'' by 2'6''. I've started to lay some track and points but would be grateful for confirmation that the feeds shown in this plan are ok. They are only the minimum ones that I think are needed and more can be added. All points are Peco Electrofrog with IRJ's fitted at the frog ends.
On the plan at 'A', am I right in thinking that when two points are laid one after the other I don't have to put IRJ's after the first one.
Thanks for any assistance that can be offered.

Top left - the three blue arrows are redundant - the feed comes from bottom left since there is a continuous rail from the bottom feed right round to the end of the siding. You only need feeds after vees (frogs) when the rail isn't fed from 'the other end'. I think you can simplify that quite a lot. Nice layout :-)
