Crossover change


Edinburgh Junction

347 views

The reason I haven't completed the point motor installation yet, is because of the really hard challenge of the crossover by the tunnel. Hard to reach, hard to do. So, here is the plan.

 

Remove the points, and put them onto Crewesly TMD. Buy 2x Left hand 'Express' points and 2x Right hand 'Express' points. This will allow me to crossover my trains onto different tracks from both directions. One of the crossovers will be on the mainline section near the level crossing, whilst the other will be in the station, to allow trains from the thru line to get onto platform 2. So one on each side of the board. They will be easier to install, as there is more room to move around and more freedom! lol

 

I will need to take up some of the ballast that is between the two tracks on the mainline stretch, but that is no problem.

 

Here is a track plan of what it currently looks like, and what it will look like!

 

Enjoy!
