A good morning with a task achieved which I was dreading! Creating and fitting the operating rods that pass through the baseboard from a servo and through the small hole in the tie-bar of the point. I took my time with the 1st one, but it was easier than I thought it was going to be.
 |
| 2 bends in the end of the piece of 0.6mm wire to attach to the servo horn |
 |
| Wire hooked onto the servo horn |
 |
| The hole in the point tie bar that the wire has to go through |
 |
| 1st servo refitted with the operating wire passing through the baseboard |
 |
| The operating wire on the track side of the baseboard |
 |
| Operating wire cut down to length |
 |
| 1st pair completed, 2nd pair were also completed |
I created the 4 jumper wires which will connect the track wiring across the 2 baseboard joints.
 |
| One pair of inter-baseboard jumpers made and fitted to one baseboard |
 |
| Second pair of inter-baseboard jumpers made and fitted to the other baseboard |
After lunch I glued 5 pieces of track down onto the baseboard using Evostik, the rest of the track is held in place with the drop wires enough until I ballast the track.
 |
| Siding on the left-hand baseboard glued down |
 |
| Siding on the right-hand baseboard glued down |
 |
| 3 long straight lengths of track on the central baseboard glued down |
