Just a few thoughts after making a looseheel turnout for the Garlieston club layout under construction.
Templot gave me a template to follow with the switch changed from the default REA to a straight switch. The interleaved sleepering is my best guess at something credible.
Dave Bradwell earlier gave a perfect way of making the looseheel, the problem being the availability of the cast fishplate. I opted to be rather heathen and rely on some phosphor bronze wire to act as a fishplate with bolt at each end.

Thread the blade onto the wire

The blades have been curved to lie exactly in place in firm contact as far as the stockgauge and correspond with the drawing as accurately as possible

Now primed, fishplate bent back properly

The below operation will be hidden.
There are joggles - this being what was required for the club.
