RMweb Premium Barry O Posted January 12, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2017 Yes, and by the early 1960 some of them were no longer glazed, just plated over. It will be interesting cleaning the platform roads when they are all stuck down! Baz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted January 12, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2017 Train-borne track cleaning should do the trick. We will see. A couple of these are available for trial purposes. Last night we found the glue where Andy Ross had been ballasting. We need to make sure this is cleaned off everywhere before we take it off to our first show in Swindon. Baz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
