A discrete but practicable 7mm tiebar

[Pencarrow]

Interesting Martin, definitely an area that's not received much attention over the years. You'd have to be very careful when fixing ballast in the surrounding area not to glue the slider to the timbers. I know from bad experience that watered down PVA has a habit of travelling where it's not needed.

For double slips I do the the two pairs separately and then connect them together, it's just easier that way. The Exactoscale method is generally to be preferred in my opinion as the stretcher bars can then be purely cosmetic.

Fully agree about separating the tiebars

I do really like that solution Simon.

I've had a dig around and it appears they came from C&L. Interestingly, two packets, same code, different contents. No idea if still available. I think I got most of mine second hand.
