Before starting my layout I decided to make a test track for the purpose of testing/running loco's that I bought with either a DC throttle or a DCC (DCC++EX) throttle. I also wanted the option to program DCC loco's.
I could of built a simple loop track but also decided to add some of the hand-made turnouts I had been building. This gave me the opportunity to use them and test what I had been doing before using others on a larger layout. I could also test the various options I had come up with for turnout control.
As a further test-bed I would gain experience using a foam layout surface, laying cork, track and doing wiring. All good endeavors to learn before starting on the larger layout. I wasn't going to post this work since there are so many examples of it on the internet but then decide that some of what I learned might also help someone else starting out so hopefully what follows will be of some help to someone.
