[Savage GT]

The rest of the lower level now cut and temp pinned in place.

   

   

The lift out section, I was going to use the loose pin hinges, to join, but this seemed a bit "clunky" to me, so I have some flight case catches on the way to try instead.

   

I bought these to help line up the joins, cut back a couple of sleepers and solder the rail to these .. fine on the square join, not sure how they will work out for the angled one !

   

A close up of the joiners with detail to represent RL fishplates.

   

As per my plan, the tightest bend on the main track is a 24 inch radius, a little over Hornby's biggest radius set track they sell which is approx 22.5 inches.
