Hi Peter, good to hear from you.

 

I have a set of A1 size Templot sheets - see earlier photos with your coaling tower - which will be fixed to the baseboard when I start the tracklaying.

For making thepointwork I also have a set of Templot turnout templates copied from the main plan. These have been cut out and stuck down on offcuts of 6mm ply using thin - 3mm - double sided sellotape.

Ply sleepers are temporarily fixed to this templot template using the same tape - the yellow/brown stuff in the photo - and away we go.

Credit for the Templot plans must go to my good friend Morgan.

 

Cheers,

 

Robin

 

I have just spent ??15 on a 'Roger Sanders' gauge 'for fine tuning pointwork - brilliant - why didn't I get one earlier!

I'm so looking forward to seeing this when complete.
