The Wagon Turntables (2)

So much for starting on the station building...

 

A quick trip to my 'local' modelshop ('Alton Models' about 10 miles away) provided me with some 'Knightwing' parts

so

the centre bearing cover (with some judicious use of a razor saw) was made from these -

At the same time the 'locking latch' was added to the table -

and I'm sure you can recognise the origin!

 

The locking pin itself will be on the 'walkway' -

made from my favourite material, 'Depron'. In this case the 2mm thick grade.

 

Scribed for a 'stone' surround then cut out with an 'Olfa' cutter and suitably painted... The locking pin

referred-to above will be put in place once the entire unit is 'bedded-in' on the trackbed.

 

Now, while the paint dries, on with the station building.

 

BTW - has anyone else got a problem with the blog editor regarding automatically starting a new line?? Fed up already having to

hit the 'return' key every few caracters!
