Hi!

Welcome to the forum!

Are you looking for something like this (instead of 24230 you can use 24130 for a compacter version):

Hi from a fellow British Columbian.

Here is what I quickly came up with SCARM software. I'm sure there are other combinations but without a 2 way Wye switch it is more difficult.

Cheers

Thanks to you both, I am trying to make the Y off straight line, tight as possible. Hope that kind of explains it. I am new to this, and model rail.

Three-way turnouts can cause problems with some trains, but allow an even compacter Y:

Further to that, would the layout on the curve work on the inside of curve? as in the one from HO

When we were kids we enjoyed our tinplate trains rattling over tinplate tracks - nowadays they're in need of sound decoders.
