Kyle - Strange hybrid...now with images...
Update - Well with the recent probs with the server, one would think a perfect opportunity to catch up with some modelling, right?...wrong
Unfortunately, this was timed with a work deadline which has taken all available day and night hours from my modelling. However, by way of an update.....
You may recall that I decided to redo my EASITRAC turnouts as I was having trouble with the common crossing. I decided to remove the premade turnout base and rebuild the turnout using EASITRAC sleeper strip, possibly substituting a few PCB strips around the common crossing to strengthen it. The requisite order was made to the 2FS shop however, knowing that I would have to await for International post timings I decided to experiment in the meantime.
I have made a hybrid of glueing the EASITRAC chairs to PCB strip using cyno adhesive and then adding the frog initially which will be followed by the wing rails. I had made the common crossing in one piece but I seem to have trouble removing it from the jig without collapsing it in the process....hence this strange approach.
This was done about 2 weeks ago, following my last entry, however in the meantime, the EASITRAC sleeper strips have arrived. I am tempted to keep going with this though, strange as it is and see how it turns out. A few pics will be attached when I work out how to do it via a remote link
1 March tomorrow, which means 75 days until the BHMRC exhibition...and still no trains running....Yikes...
