On the back of last weeks success, we pressed on checking the sections of rail were connected correctly. John had his own rules/method and was not averse to some strange ideas about wiring points and unravelling how each section was connected was a painstaking exercise. However, Geoff's persistence pushed through and after a series of our own modifications, the points worked correctly. Some rails had been filed down so much, the running surfaces were knife-thin, and required additional rail material to be soldered on their sides to improve running and electrical connection. The exercise was finally completed and the the cross-over switches will be changed over next time.
 |
| Additional metal being added to over-thinned railheads. |
 |
| Cutting extra rail joints and adding extra wire links to adjacent rails. |
 |
Finally, testing the sections over-and-over to finally
arrive at a 'normal' electrical arrangement. |
We will give it all a full testing session, with stock, before changing over to the single switching option.
