Carts and horses....or an outbreak of modelling

Today I really should have been finishing the carpentry for the boards and starting to laminate the sides together.

 

That was before I discovered my box of rail components from shop 1 ;) .

 

I decided to try a combination of the easitrac construction and copperclad sleepers. I figured the copperclad would make the construction more robust.

 

The layout of the sleepers can be seen below:-

This time around I found the Easitrac chairs much easier to thread, the Slide chairs were still a pain though and need filing back as they prevent the switch rail from closing properly.

 

After a couple of hours the point is nearly finished (below) :yes: , just a couple of detail half chairs to add, and no doubt some filing to smooth the alignment once placed in its final position.

So trackwork started with no boards to lay it on! :scratchhead:
