RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted November 19, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 19, 2017 At board joints the rail is held in place by being soldered to brass rod embedded in the board ends. Here we see cosmetic chairs being added to hide the brass rod where a turnout straddles the board joint. Board joint location shown by the razor saw... 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted November 19, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 19, 2017 I think you have got the hang of tracklaying now. Good work Don Thanks Don, and with the rear goods siding now laid there was no excuse not to have a play with the Minerva pannier (although just running on plain DC)... https://youtu.be/zBhhek1gYTE 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 link Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Hi Chris, The layouts coming on a treat, and that's one of the benefits of building your own track you can put in a checkrail in where ever it's needed.

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted November 19, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 19, 2017 OK, so I couldn't resist digging out the DCC control unit and bodging up a connection to the rear siding.

I mean we all have some troublesome wagons not just Thomas..... : ) Martyn. Thanks Martyn. Decided to have a little tidy up and see what it looks like with the building mock-ups back on now I've moved the rear siding. It's really nice just listening to the Pannier simmering away and going through its sound cycle - blower, injector, coal etc. Not at all annoying unlike the AC Railbus ticking over... 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jintyman Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 (edited) Thanks Martyn.

The Pannier certainly brings it to life, and the sound project is superb. The whole layout is looking great, I love your attention to detail and the clever way of holding the rail at board joints with brass rod. How's the grain store coming on, have you finished it?

RMweb Gold Donw Posted November 19, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 19, 2017 Thats what I like to see a man who cannot wait to run a loco. Listening to that I realised it has been some time since I heard a steam train. Normally I hear the WSR several times a day but I don't think anything much has run since half term. I saw today they are relaying or at least reballasting the track through Watchet station so nothing much could run here. Don 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
