Nothing particularly new or exciting with trackmaking . Having used Exactoscale point kits in 4mm, I continued the theme by using C&L 7mm point kits which have everything you need and with which you can specify preferred rail chairs.... GWR twobolt of course.

Having experienced annoying rust problems, and to some extent, soldering issues, with steel bullhead rail in 4mm I have chosen nickel silver rail for this project, which I am sure will make soldering joints more reliable over time and humidity.

Making your own pointwork is a hobby in itself and isthe preferable option for this DCC project.

There are three important wiring locations to think about.......

Left and Right stockrails.........

.....and the Frog.......

I prefer to use suitably sized paxolin strip fixed to the plastic sleepers with Gorilla superglue. These will be drilled and dropper wires soldered on when affixed on the layout...

I prefer to use blue tack to keep point timbers in place during assembly as it makes lifting the pint of the trackplan much simpler than double sided tape etc........

Of course you will find that the slide chairs at the point blade end will fall off when you lift the track up... so I fix them and any other errant rail chairs in place with THIN Rocket superglue......

For the plain track it`s the time honoured use of a track jig........ every fifth sleeper at the right end is unfixed and will be the location of the soldered dropper wires which will be hidden by `cosmetic chairs`

Then off we jolly well !!!! ...............
