      Are the sleepers looking straighter as the night go's on?, don't look at them in the morning, wonder if JD's is any good for gluing the chairs on with?

    Steve i am building the track with copper clad sleepers a straight onto the Templot drawing i was going to use easi trac but decided . to be traditional lol and its working out easier as i can run the rails full length without joins . I will only cut them when i decide where the breaks need to be . Michael i need to work on the fettling as its about 1.5 mm on the wide side i must admit Missy has got me striving for perfection as she is achiving in High Clere

    The base board bridging bits are here and now in place And I have spend a pleasant evening playing around with the easi trac turnout operating units the pics will show how I fitted the first one This took about an hour of cutting and fettling the unit. still was a lil off centre i think next one i will drill hole and offer up the tie bar to get the rectangular hoe smaller. Now its time to lay sleepers and start track laying.. Slight bit of good news ......... i can have a weekend at home as the gf ( SWMBO ) says she will be busy with PANTO this weekend ......... oh yes she will

    Pete sorry i was not able to get on line till now . did you think of sanding a chamfer to the bottom of the sheets on the inside this would allow you to get them closer and reduce the overhang nige
