Getting to the Point

Following a shopping trip at Wycrail 10 a Peco SL-E191 short radius point and a pack of PL-9 mounting bases hit the workbench.

 

So last night whilst watching TV I prepped the point before fitting it to the layout (a bit of a first). The pic below shows what I do to all electrofrogs, nothing new, it's all in the accompanying leaflet, apart from the hacking off of the solenoid mounting points!

I've also fitted the solenoid (an old PL10 with extension pin, bought way before they did a PL10E) to it's mounting base and sorted out a microswitch and mounting block to do the frog switching.

 

So, next job is to spray the point matt black before digging up the cinders ballast ready to lay it in place.

Good luck with the layout alteration! I've heard of people sorting out the frogs on these points, but never a nice simple illustrated photo like this - BRILL!

Cheers Chris, you too! - I guess that's the power of the forum, if I take a pic as I'm doing a task and post it here, when the question comes up in the future it's a 2 min job to link to my blog B)

12 years on and it’s still not been fitted 🤣

 

Only 12 years?

 

Does this mean that it has just appeared from the safe place that you put it so that it wouldn't get lost?
