Callow Lane - point rodding almost completed


Captain Kernow

2,161 views

I've virtually completed the point rodding on the layout now, having applied primer to the brass rodding last night and painted it today. The only parts left to fit are the rods to the cosmetic point tie bars (which themselves haven't yet been fitted) and the sections of rodding that cross the baseboard joint (these will probably be lift-out sections, as per Bleakhouse Road).

 

This is where the rodding will emerge from underneath the signalbox:

HI, the rodding is 0.45mm brass rod from Eileens Emporium or Alan Gibson, the cranks are from Brassmasters and Model Signal Engineering, and the rodding stools are also from MSE.

Hi Captain,

Point rodding looks good, certainly worth doing.biggrin.gif I still have more to do on Llanbourne, just wish I had done it before ballasting etc as you have done.

 

Cheers Peter.

Are the stools the cast whitemetal ones?
