The Electrics.

The eight straight track lengths on the traverser each have a small section of plastic removed from between the sleepers nearest the centre-end of both rails (+ and -).
The track was laid where it was to be fixed, and the two points where the plastic was removed were marked in pencil on the traverser deck. A hole was then drilled into the traverser board (the drill tip was intentionally allowed to mark the board underneath for the first two track sections.)
A small bolt was then inserted into each hole, from underneath, the end protruding slightly through the upper surface of the traverser deck.
The track was then fitted as normal, the tips of the two bolts each fitting into the gaps made in the sleeper rail, the contact was adjusted as needed, and a small amount of PVA applied for extra security. This process was repeated for all eight traverser tracks.
