never say never jim, fitted the chalk garden rail clamps, similar to massoth, but a bit longer, forgot i had them,.. so easy maintansce on the goods yard points..tracks all back in /down,and clamped, tested and passed.. tryed to run the piko railbus, cleaned the wheels, skates ect but after 3 hours, id given up the will to live..stoping randomly.. so plonked 1 off the lgb railbuses on the track...4 hours, no problems.. this afternoon i made a start on the goods yard rear wall, got a nice 4ft section done, and the got the wooden yard gates made and hung.. the locking bars removeable..not a bad days progress

 

[mike]

:q26: done the chain link fensceing, and made astart on the rear wall to the goods yard.. it will need a gate, and its on to aroad(makebelive) so it has to look the part, used sandys off cuts, from the viaduct walling ..cutting out, carefully, or not, seeing as i ve sliced a finger, good job the super glue was to hand.. the wall will run for over 4ft.. fixed to the edge off the railway.. so far, im 1/2 way..the gate dose open,and lock shut.. :q21:
