Small progress. This is going to be steady methinks. And already I’ve wound people up. <\/span><\/p>\n

The holes in the boards for the joining bolts are on the sloppy side. This was the same with Rhiw2 and allows the track to be laid flat, but some up\/down jiggle room for the difference between the code 100 and code 75 track. Other than that it’s all pretty standard fare and what you have seen here on numerous occasions; no P4 precision here. It looks a little stark at the moment, but I’m basically cutting a middle ground between Dury’s Gap with the mix of HO spacing and the Bullhead and AotC with the forward mounted switches. This notices a lot less when it’s all prettied up with ballast and green stuff.  Right to left: copper clad sleepers pinned and packed to the Peco depth. 9″ of Bullhead, Peco code 75 RH medium operated with a DPDT slider and some wire in tube. All of this (switch excepting) has been used somewhere else before, thus, total cost: c50p. A Bachmann C Class and an 08 run through without hitch. Onward again.
