As per the image below, the timbers clearly need to be shoved to avoid them hitting each other but what would the convention be, shove the timbers on the top track one way and those on the bottom track the other way until there are no conflicts or, for example, leave the timbers on the top as they are and only shove those on the bottom track? Thanks John 2828_231352_340000000.jpg posted: 23 Oct 2018 19:17 from: Jim Guthrie In this case I would leave the lower sleepers where they are- there should be a fair gap between the sleeper and the turnout timber to allow for ballast to be worked on and packed. I would move the upper sleepers to the right until they fitted between the lower sleepers. This will give a wide-ish gap betweenthe sleeper and the turnout timber, but that wouldn't be too bad.
