Greetings and salutations to all.
I was looking over a printable fast tracks template for a 19 degree crossing diamond. Having successfully built a double slip turnout I am encouraged to attempt the 19 degree crossing which I could utilize. I am however perplexed as to what size # frog one would build. Might any tecnocrate here be able to facilitate my inquiry? I would be happy to attempt the build. I have access to the larger frog helper # 6 thru 8 size frog tool which in my minds eye is more appropriate.

Hi
This is my first post
I have just started a new layout after migrating from South Africa to Perth, Australia
I have a 8.5 x 6m space
Have completed a complex track plan designed for computer control
This is the first section which is a harbour on the left , lower level station in the middle which will be covered by the upper level main station
All the tracks on the right will be covered by the main station

Previous layout picture included

Anyone know of an easy way to replace turnout motort - the Atlas style which is mounted under the switch- in carved out Homosote- which has been ballasted and scenic-ed

Foam roadbed, what's the state of the art method?

A friend is building his framework and planning on using extruded foam as the flat top.  Dips and rises will be worked in later after the flat track is laid.

Obviously the profile has to be built up for drainage etc so cork could be used but is it used alone or are there any alternatives to keep noise down?
