Safety barriers to prevent a Tay bridge disaster from my train turntable


Stringfingerling

I have now extended the handles on the bathroom door bolts used to align my train turntable tracks, so that, when the turntable is being rotated any loose vehicles are protected from accidentally rolling off the end of the turntable deck.. I used 5/16 inside diameter brass tube from Eileen's emporium which was a perfect fit for the handles. The locks were from Screwfix.

I used a pipe cutter to cut the tubes to length ( easier than sawing, and easier to achieve a square end). The tubes are epoxied to the handles.
