Enjoying building the PCB turnouts

I really enjoy building the turnouts using the PCB timbers. Even more, I started to experiment new construction methods.

 

I've chosen to make all four points in one go, on a Sundeala board then transfer the whole assembly to the plywood baseboard. I still wonder if this is a good approach...

 

Some photos with my progress:

Next step will be to install the switch blades and check rails (six pieces of each).

That looks very good. I always build pointwork that is grouped together like that in one lump. You need to be extra careful as small errors can quickly build up but the benifits in terms of the way the track flows, both visualy and operationaly, are worth it.

That looks super. Did you get your supplies (sleepers, rail & gauges) from the 2mm shop?

Yes, all supplies are coming from the 2mm FS Association shop.

 

@all: Thank you for your kind comments.

 

@Jerry: Indeed I am quite pleased about how the track flows. I am very careful during the soldering process and I test the laid track quite often using a converted 5 plank wagon.
