I initially bought one kit of point rodding to see how far it would go and work out how much more I needed.
Point rodding is a mechanical way of operating points and signals from a signal box.
From my workings out I needed a further kit and the extension set which arrived yesterday.
Yesterday and today I have been planning out the runs for the 2 points, 2 ground signals and 2 facing point locks, at the canal wharf end. Facing point locks are necessary where train approach a facing point as rodding operating the blades of a point is insufficient to hold them in place with approaching trains, the locks lock the blades in place.
This could take a while.
The full run.
1st point and point locking.
2nd point, point locking and 2 ground signals.
