It is one of my favourites..... For the purpose of this conversation, I don't believe it does extend to Nohab'sThou shalt not covet ......................... but does that commandment extend to a Nohab? It is, after all, rather nice
A thankless, and generally pointless task, as you'll be doing it as often as you wash your car.. Can you wash fence......?View attachment 338308View attachment 338309View attachment 338310View attachment 338311View attachment 338312View attachment 338313View attachment 338314View attachment 338315View attachment 338316View attachment 338317View attachment 338318View attachment 338319View attachment 338320View attachment 338321View attachment 338322View attachment 338323View attachment 338324View attachment 338325View attachment 338326View attachment 338327
My first thought was sympathy for you having to take up track to replace the fishplates, but I see that you have a far more efficient method! I'll have to keep it in mind if I'm ever in the same situation. (Assuming my mind can keep it!)I decided to take the final plunge and do the last 8 fishplates to rail clamps.

Whoa! That sounds like a sore spot. Didn't mean to trigger. Are you tiring of the hobby, wanting to go with a larger radius, or... (if you're willing to share)If I had to take the track up, I'd just get rid of it all.....
No, no, not a sore spot. It's been a long hard drag doing the rail clamps. I wish I'd done them from the very start. I don't think I would have the will power to take the track up, to do the fish plates. I'm glad I found a way of doing it without removing track to do so. It's been down 11 years with lifting, other than to extend or fit new slidings etc. Definitely not tiring or the hobby, I love it and won't be ending it anytime soon.Whoa!

At first I thought it was a motorised 5075.
Boom! Boom!Well it is about to switch!
