Hello all,
a bit of an up date on the trackwork for Lochmaben, we had to partly vacate the big club room as Swiss Pass needed to be erected for testing and making ready for Preston show 5th & 6th March. But we are still plodding on. Rick as been working on the tie bars on the points and is trying to work out the best way to do the double slip, for the point motors we're looking at using servos' to power them along with a micro switch for switching the power to the point vees.
When (if) he gets his sanity back he can start on these, two curved three way points at the station end of the fiddle yard then it's plain sailing with about five or six points to follow on with.
The same BBs from the other end showing some of the track that's in the platforms and in the yard. Yard to the left.
The trackwork is progressing towards the country end.
We were going to use these fishplates for most of the main line but the cost became prohibitively expensive. If you want to know the cost PM me.
So we decided to use these from scale 7 stores at approx. 83p each a much better proposition. To the left of the fishplate is a C & L chair I must remember to have the key showing away from the fishplate .
More to follow soon,
Keep safe
