Final test of the tandem turnout

Having now glued all the cosmetic half chairs onto this copper-clad point, I tested it with a few locos this afternoon, to ensure that I had cut the inner chairs down sufficiently to ensure that Bachmann etc. flanges wouldn't foul them.

 

Here is Peckett 'Plantagenet', which has RP25 wheels running over the point:

Ex-LNER J72 'Charlotte', sold to the NCB, may occasionally be found on hire to the outrageously improbably light railway that will have running powers into the BR goods yard on my new layout:

I also ran some locos with proprietary chassis, including a Bachmann pannier, a Hornby Peckett and my DJM/Hattons 14XX, all of which had no problem running through the points or fouling any chairs.

 

The tandem turnout can now go into the drawer with the other completed pointwork. I may now built the remaining two A5 points that I need, but I'm being tempted by the prospect of a loco or two.

Ah, ingenious - building the new layout in a drawer. Is that the sort of low down cunning they teach in Horrocksford?

Thanks Mark.

 

Yes, I bought it a few years ago on the recommendation of someone, to use for something, but I can't remember much about it, to be honest. It just sits on my workbench, together with one or two other oil pots, for use as and when needed.
