I hope you have all had a good Christmas.
I thought I'd share a few photos of the trackwork added during a quiet hour on Christmas Eve.
Well nearly complete. All the track on Board 21 is now in position with just the sleeper staining - Jacobean Dark Oak - and the droppers - Palatine Models - left to do.
The track has now crossed onto Board 20 the track ends being soldered to 12BA brass screws which are screwed through the ply rivets. I use a pair of ply sleepers on each side of the track across the joint and adjust the height of the screws accordingly. At this joint it was necessary to double the sleeper thickness by using 2 sleepers, one on top of the other, to achieve the correct height.
The use of a mirror is a good aid when laying track. It enables identification of any track alignment issues.
