RSS Fetcher Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I've removed some of the diagonal sleepers on my crossing - which involves a slip so I can't remove the other diagonal sleepers since the slip has it's timbers at an angle halfway between the two routes. Unfortunately I didn't manage to join the ends up neatly and there are three with joggles. I'm going to put something over those and run a duct through in the hope that the eye will follow that instead? http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif One thing I noticed was that all of this would have been really easy on the workbench, but is a fiddle on the layout since the soft cork tends to deform under the pressure of the knife and take the track with it. This isn't fatal, but it all needs a lot more care than it would on the bench. http://www.secondintention.com/pleasure/oo/sleepers-2.jpg One thing I didn't take a picture of was that I've filled in all the notches left by removing the Peco springs and associated bits with Miliput, and they have disappeared nicely under the paint. Now I need to tone down the sleepers and get some ballast on there, but before that there are some ducts and other hardware to fit. Progress at last!
