Bristol Barrow Road - Storage Sidings turnouts
The first two B7 'King' Turnouts have been installed this afternoon together with the first two metre lengths of K&L flexitrack [ have I had it in stock that long!!].
The track board joints are my usual 12BA brass cheese-head screws through ply sleepers. With the holes are drilled 1.2mm and screwed down they have the benefit of vertical adjustment to the underside of the rail prior to soldering. Each rail is then cut in situ using a fine razor saw. Strips of 0.3mm black card are used as a base for gluing the track and prepared lengths are visible in the following photos.
The brass plates under the switch blades are the Brian Morgan turnout units which I have used on the scenic side of the layout and have incorporated here as I am using up remaining stock.
I am contemplating a different mechanism for the remainder of the storage sidings turnouts,
