Conducted tests with a car on that turnout I mentioned previously; runs through smoothly enough through the approach to the crossing, so perhaps the break has done my eyesight the world of good 
Additionally, I've resolved the issue of the slightly proud switch rail leading to the diverging road with a tiny length of the steel wire from the wire-in-tube assembly, sandwiched between the tie bar and the stock rail. This is just the right thickness for levelling everything up. Was thinking of superglueing it on in preference to soldering, bearing in mind its proximity to the stock rail, however, bit the bullet and gingerly sweated both the wire and tiebar together on the tiniest area possible without gumming everything up in the process. I'm pleased to report that my test car goes through very smoothly.
Had enough for now fellow modellers, so think I'll call it a day.
Regards,
Jonte
