RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted March 2, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2012 When out and about on The Captain's Travels this week, I visited Moreton-in-Marsh to inspect some of the recent track work undertaken there, and took some shots of the new points into the Down Refuge siding, which were renewed a few weeks ago. They are not yet connected to the rodding, by the way, so the siding is temporarily out of use: I must commend the person who did the ballasting, they've managed to keep it all neat and tidy, with no PVA on the sleepers and no unsightly holes in the ballast where the diluted glue has dropped from a pipette!... Photos taken with usual trackside authorisation etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Modeller Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Nice photos. Surely they forgot to clean the flux off the rails though? - it's gone rusty quicker than my track. You should suggest they use nickel silver rail next time. Someone's going to have a lot of fun with a fibreglass pencil to clean it all off! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted March 2, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2012 Useful reference images here, TIm - particularly the ones showing the join between the crossing V and wing rail. I expect John & Rod (10800 & Re6/6) will be grateful , if it's not too late for the Matford track rebuild.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect John & Rod (10800 & Re6/6) will be grateful , if it's not too late for the Matford track rebuild.... Yes Rich we are. I'm building some new pointwork for the revised (not too much) track plan. You can never have too much info on flatbottom S & C work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rich, but I only drive trains on Matford! But it's nice to have some good P&C under the wheels anyway! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERGE Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 There are a reassuringly good number of new mechanical points about. Here's my offering. Everything except the lever in the box is new. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERGE Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 The three switches in this view are mechanical points on concrete bearers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
