... topic: 1288 Sticking plots to baseboards posted: 18 Nov 2010 10:53 from: newport_rod Hello We've printed out a plot of the fiddle yard (30+ feet long, see Little Mill Junction in Share and show). We'd like to glue the plot to the baseboards to make tracklaying easier. We avoided wallpaper paste and PVA for fear that a) the ink may run and b) the paper might expand leading to inaccuracies and bubbling. So we tried a varnish, as it happened a water-based ... that I use (in the USA) is "Elmer's Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive" I am sure that something similar must be available in the UK.

174. Straight Switches
... above has been extremely helpful: it prompted me to re-visit my custom switch settings and open the heel offset from 4.55" to 4.75". This seems appropriate because I have to cater for a heel located at the switch rail joint. Here is a shot of the resulting custom switch and associated data. This is intended to represent North British practice, and I am struck by its strong similarities to the Caledonian product Jim is representing. One possible difference between CR and NBR practice lies in the positioning of the switch ... Is it correct that in those circumstances there would be no fishplate connection at all between switch and closure rail? Otherwise there would presumably have to be a special chair at the heel capable of accommodating the fishplates joining these two rails. 2129_060637_030000000.jpg posted: 6 Nov 2015 13:00 from: Jim Guthrie John Palmer wrote: Poring over pictures of Caledonian pointwork I have yet to seen any evidence of a heel plate being used, and I wonder whether CR practice was to locate the joint in a chair.
