RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted May 26, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 26, 2018 Hard to tell from photos of the real thing, but you might want spring steel keys; in which case you could trim most (if not all) of the moulded key off the chairs - useful if you do happen to glue any on the wrong way round https://www.derbysulzers.com/26027inverness.jpg https://www.derbysulzers.com/inverness.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 Arrrgghhh. This blowing my mind! Plan says I need 1PL, 2PL, 3PL & 4PL, each side. However, on the two sprues we only appear to have components that look like PL1 & PL2, no PL3 or PL4 in sight - not that they're numbered that way. Perhaps its me and too much sun.

Geoff Cook Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 You need to look at this RH%20Switches.pdf Each of those chairs is made from several components the above pdf gives the numbers that corresponds to those on the sprue, RH%20Switches.pdf If you are not using a turnout kit and don't have a ready made switch you need to pack two of the chairs with 0.4mm plasticard to replace the fret LH Switches.pdf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Cook Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 The 0.4mm packing that I referred to goes under part that fits between the switch rail and the stock rail under 3pl and 4pl on a b switch, that diagonal line on the drawing is the fret Geoff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 I've got the crossing stuck down now and I've offered the stock rails in. here I'm checking how the point flows into the curve. (ignore the left stock rail, it's the outside one on the right I'm looking to get aligned here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 Not posted for ages, work has completely consumed me for most of this year. Anyway, I’ve found myself with some time today and fancied doing a bit. In part spurred on by the prospect of the Sutton Loco Works releasing a Scottish 24/1; headcode box, tablet catcher, headlights, ploughs - the lot. First job was to remember where on earth we had got too. I had just started building the first of the P4 points. Thanks to Mark F I now have all the components I need, so there’s no excuse! So to start off I’ve threaded the remaiming chairs on the straight stock rail, added the check rail and stuck the lot down, checking with gauges as I go. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
