Indomitable026 Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 One of the first things I’m going to sort out is the leg arrangement. For BCB I used the same arrangement as I did for ‘Diesels in the Duchy’ namely tressels and timbers forming a subframe. Trouble is you end up with lots off loose bits. To sort this I’m going to hinge legs on each board and piggy back off the master. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Couple of other things, more for my record than anything. This is the track height measurement from the floor at the tunnel end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin S-C Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 That's pretty high. My home baseboards are 40" to the underside of tehframe, so about 43" to the track and that seems high enough! I'm keen to see what folding legs you design for this as I am considering making something similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm keen to see what folding legs you design for this as I am considering making something similar. Its around what we’ve standardised on over many years, perhaps a couple inches higher as I think 46 to rail height is our norm. Quite where the extra 2 crept in from I’m not sure. The legs will just be straight forward hinge down with a brace, hopefully I’ll have a go at the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indomitable026 Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 For my reference, this is the measurement from the bottom of the board to the floor, ie the length the new leg needs to be minus the depth of the adjustable feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted February 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 7, 2019 Don't forget that the rail height is higher at the pub end. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes agreed, this is one of the reasons I'm taking the measurements - to work out what the difference in the track height is end to end. I can then look at how I counter that in the new back fiddleyard. For those that don't know, the main lines on BCB are built on a 1 in 100 gradient from the viaduct down to the tunnel. Now the layout is becoming a complete circuit this obviously needs to be addressed in the new fiddleyard somehow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted February 8, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2019 Can you keep the rear fiddle yard boards level and take up the difference in the end curved sections - half the difference at each end? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
