Looks excellent Bryn. Is the TOU fairly self explanatory for adjustment etc.. looks like the ideal solution for the mini layout I am going to try in 2FS using the same parts as you have from Easitrac?

Hey Graham,

Adjustment it is pretty straight forward. Slacken off the two brass 12BA screws, move the Tortoise to one side and tighten up the relevant switch blade screw to give a positive contact between the switch blade and running rail. Repeat for the other side. This way there is little force acting upon the point itself.

The point is made completely for Easitrac parts and the dropper wire is .28mm phosphorous bronze wire.

Morning Pete,

It's a Stephen Harris kit, the one from the Association shop is a plastic body (the above being solid resin). His kit never really went on general release due to it clashed with the release of the plastic kit. Shame, as it was a pleasure to build (but I've not built the plastic version yet, so I'm biased).

me again

Any links to what Stephen Harris produces? Being a complete newbie, I only recognised the name from the 2FS website, and that's a lovely body moulding .

Thanks

Graham

'ello,

Right then, Stephen Harris....

He's not a kit manufacturer in the usual sense, he has developed a range of wagons in kit form to aid his own projects (the logic being, it's easier to make a kit than try scratch build everything separately). So every now and again he puts a flyer out in the association magazine, people put in orders and he organises for the etches and castings to be made.

If you want something after the initial run has been produced, it gets tricky. If you want the odd one or two, he might have spares. If you want more, he will need enough orders to make a second run. Castings are usually 50 per batch and etchings are around 10 - 20 per run.

Best thing to do it drop him a line and see where he's at. I've no idea how many kits have been made available, but I'm sure he can help if you contact him. He's a top bloke and a credit to the Association.

Agreed about Mr Harris B)

And as for the progress with this 'ere layout?

Whhhoooooooosh!!! :icon_thumbsup2:
