RMweb Premium Indomitable026 Posted May 19, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 19, 2019 Anyway, the whole purpose of the trip to Stafford was to pick up the remaining scenic board as seen below, now safely back... This is the middle scenic board, board 3 of 5, with a railway under bridge going over the canal. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I drove all the way over to Stafford (Milford) for two hours for a wimpy and thought while I’m here might as well get the missing board... 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Indomitable026 Posted May 19, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 19, 2019 Ive spent most of the last two days working on BCB this weekend, mostly rationalising and dismantling items not required for its reconfiguration. Jobs have included; Dismantling the 5 lighting rigs/ front fascia supports including disposal Re-configuring the end protection boards, including painting Tidying up board ends and painting Dismantled all A frame leg sets I’ve also finished the first set of legs on the tunnel board. I’ve re-used the legs that were previously used in A frame configuration. Pictures below. I’m not happy with it, it’s too flimsy, so i’m going to build new instead out of more substantial material. 15 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin S-C Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 It would make a good news story though. "Railway bridge struck by railway bridge". 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Indomitable026 Posted May 25, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 25, 2019 A bit more tinkering today. I’ve fashioned a couple lengths of timber to allow me to reconfigure how the layout stacks. The system is something we used years ago on New Haden Colliery. These are jobs I never got around to when we originally built BCB. Hopefully the pictures explain.... 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted May 25, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) Add a strip of ply on the outer lower edge of each endboard so the upper endboards sit on the lower endboards and the strips stop the boards from slipping. You could add the strips along the top edge of the endboards so the upper board sit inside. (That still doesn't make sense to me, I'll sketch something).

Geoff Cook Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Stu that's what it was originally like, if you look at the end of the boards in the last photo you can see that they would interlock which is ok if their are two of you loading the boards, they need to be placed exactly in the right position, if not in the right position their is the possibility of damaging the lower board The beams have the advantage that you can place the board on the beam and slide it into position which can be done by one person Geoff 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
