Tracklaying continues
Work has commenced on laying the pointwork at the North end of Brackhampton. I've been waiting until Hayfield of this parish (who has been very patient with me and long suiffering) had built enough of the various pointwork to allow me to lay the mainline almost all at once. I didn't want to lay each piece as it was built only to find I had miscalculated and it didn't fit. These first two photos shopw the point work for the mainlines with the trackwork leading to the eastern bay platforms.
This next photo shows the crossover between the main and relief lines. These haven't yet been laid but will be the next to go down.
the pointwork for the rest of the eastern bays and the relief lines as they feed into the western bays has yet to be built.
For the technically minded the track is laid on 1/8 inch cork sheet and is stuck down with Evostic spray glue, care being taken to protect the moving parts of any pointwork.
Soon I will start building the platforms starting at the South end and working North. As the platforms will be scribed to show the paving, I've been puting this job off.
