Chagford - Going Round in Circles

Hi All

 

Today I have been building the new cassette location and electrical connection for the train cassettes on Chagford. Despite the new electrical system being much more straight forward, on the first attempt I got the wiring cassette wiring reversed and found a complete short when I tested it.

This done I next wired up the section of track to the left of the cassette which had previously been unconnected. Then did some rectification to the point wiring and added the point tie bar.

 

Then I ran the first train around the whole oval including over the cassette.

Building points that are not built in a 2mm Association jig is an artform. I am learning fast and hopefully my next point will be easier to build and have the need for less rectification before a train will run over it without derailing.

I like building points without jigs using the basic dimensions from tables. I am not sure if points as tight as yours would be covered by the tables. However Tramways probably ignored the tables themselves. Good to see it coming on.
