Work continues slowly but steadily on the down fiddle yard. This weekend I've constructed the alignment mechanisms for the traverser. With the first two roads in place running onto the main lines I soldered 2mm Ø brass tubes to the side of each track. Originally I was going to use larger tubes but there were fouling issues with some of the stock. Once soldered in place the tubes and rails were cut and I moved onto the adjacent roads. 1.5mm Ø brass rod bent into an 'L' provides the alignment bolts. Everything was wired up temporarily to test and no problems were found. With 6 of the planned 8 roads complete I've now run out of copperclad so this element of the project will be on hold until more arrives.
