Holes equally spaced through ally, end covered with foam incase of escape loco's This picture should have been up 1st, as nothing on right hand end. http://www.clickRALPH
Hi Pete, I drilled the holes through Ally in situ, whilst tracks were aligned, By removingbolt then sliding through a same diameter drill bit rotating by fingers and lightly tappingwith a small hammer to make a mark. then slide fiddle yard out make mark larger with a center punchand drill, repeated five times,RALPH
Thank's for comments Kim and SMR ChrisKim the next job like you mentioned will be track laying at the other end sometime soonhttp://www.clickRALPH
Nice one Ralph... To stop your parked locos wandering, the traverser could be set up so that only the road lined up with the road through the crossing gates is the electrically active one, meaning the other four would be dead when not in that position. Just a thought... http://www.clickGormo
