Bear in mind that the Peco Bullhead track is to finescale standards, and any older locos and stock that do not have good wheel profiles will experience problems with these points and crossings. For example, early Hornby China-built locos had a back-to-back wheel measurement of 14.2mm, whereas later ...

All the track is already bought (apart from x-overs) and most of my rolling stock/loco's are from 2004 on, I also have a DCC concepts B2B gauge (14.5mm), so hopefully it will be OK !
Perhaps what I should have said is, are the crossings any less reliable than points ? TBH my main concern is ...

Well, whatever you consider your skills to be they are perfectly adequate at producing a fine video. Very nice layout. Well done. R-

Thanks, But you may have a bit of a wait !
I haven't even got the track down for the lower main lines yet, let alone started on the upper where this will be going !
It is a time consuming print (all the parts for 1/4 of the length required have took a little over 8.5 hours). Total Viaduct length ...
