Cursed point motors!
Like I mentioned last week, there wouldn't be quite such a hive of activity this week, for starters there was work to contend with, and then the house needs looking after as well!
I did do a little rail grinding, but not much... I also decided that it would be best to fit point motors before going far down the scenic route.... So on Saturday it was off to see Andy at KGR and the builders merchants. The result? One sheet of 50mm polystyrene cut into four chunks four ease of handling, a rock starter kit, some n-gauge track crossings, a bus shelter, light coloured ballast and some fence posts.
Anyway, I put the board on its side and have attempted fitting three motors, and it's not been a great success. I just don't seem to be able to get it right. The lest time I fitted some the points were parallel with the edge of the board which helps in terms of orientation, this time they're not!
Any suggestions on how to make it easier? I think turning the board properly upside down will help but this will require a jig due to ramp and the buffer stops.
Any advice greatly appreciated! Now lunch first, then it's time to mow the lawn!
