Great Western Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) A little work on the project tonight, firstly I’ve been having problems with the pattern maker dowels between board two and three. There’s been a 5mm step between the two, I had to remove the dowels which has now solved the problem. I then tidied up the cork underlay on board three, and laid/secured the sleepers ready for railing. I’ve also a little issue, I need to decide where to site my bracket signal. The idea is it’ll control a Junction off view so needs to be as close to the scenic break as possible, but at the only realistic site it would have to be to the left of the line it applies, and with the spur onto the stabling point next to it. My plan is to have a GPL a little ahead of the main bracket, any suggestions ? Edited January 19, 2021 by Great Western 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
