Ok so decided not to allow current events to stop me I set about building point 2. Decided to tidy up a bit and found a bit of hardboard to protect the desk and also to be able to see bit n bobs more easily.
This time I started with a number 6 as I thought this is what I will be using So first I soldered up the frog after filing down the rails, I really need to get a better file for this and with York coming up another item to add to my shopping list. Then I set out the sleepers that I have snipped off the waste of the previous attempt and at first tried to make them fit the template but quickly deciding that it would be better to mark and snip later. The I started with the straight stock rail as mentioned by Kris but I am pondering getting the 2mmSA straight track jig to build the reference point to start from although most points that will be build will likely be curved to greater or lesser extents. At which I called it an evening as was tired and didn't want to poke myself with a hot iron. I can see I need a lot more practise at this! as I have a picture of what I want to achieve but not necessarily the ability to do it, at the moment! Anyway work stops for a couple of nights so will resume sometime Saturday hopefully.
