Thanks for sharing.
I was wondering, you use some flat bar alu tracks and i thought i noted that you where using soft wood for your ties/sleepers, did you bought that wood impregnate or did you stain them?, how are they holding after 7 or more years?
I also saw some 10mm plywood, was that for show (calibrating your saw table perhaps) or did you actually use them as sleepers/ties, if so how are they holding?
With best regards Igor
Waste engine sump oil will work much better though hardly environmentally friendly these days.A lot of the wooden sleepers are treated pine, which lasts basically forever outside. I think the plywood was for this old set of points?

It was replaced back in 2016 with a treated pine sleepered version, which has remained in service ever since.

And the same location yesterday. Sleepers are still good.
A few rail structures are made out of various Australian hardwoods too, which last pretty well outside. There's a lot of yellow box and stringybark overhead wire poles which typically last years, though a few installed back in 2018 are starting to age out now. Jarrah and Merbau from old decking is also used for a lot of rail structures which is nearly indestructible. New replacement overhead wire poles have one end soaked in some waste decking oil, it remains to be seen how much of a difference that makes to their life span.
Yes, you would probably need to grease some officials palm as well.Waste engine sump oil will work much better though hardly environmentally friendly these days.
And more importantly, no longer legal.Waste engine sump oil will work much better though hardly environmentally friendly these days.
Please enlighten me as to how you cut jarrah, I remember my father bring home a piece of jarrah when we lived in Hong Kong for me to make 0 Gauge sleepers, the only thing I managed to do was blunt knives and my wee saw, it's like trying to cut rock.
Very nice, if they ever remake the film ‘Malcolme’ there will be some Tram Kits available in the right scale.Quick update, since I neglect this thread terribly.
2022 has seen the first large scale application of 3D rollingstock design and construction. The W5 class tram has made extensive use of this technology and is now being refined as a potential commercial product.
