Blog- Maurice's Blog - Pointwork problems....

A while ago I posted a picture of a real, 1:1 scale, point or switch being installed on the Borders Railway in Scotland.

 

I now add a link to a very well recorded, reported, reconstructed real railway incident that is rounded off with remarkably clear recommendations.

Well worth five minutes to watch, not that it has direct modelling implications.... But it seems illustrate the modellers problem of dodgy back to back gauging or over curved switch blades, although without such serious consequences.

 

I had thought of calling this post, "The point of switches" - sorry!
