... rails is less than the timber/chair/rivet depth, providing a clearance in the event any particles of ballast get underneath it. Hi Gordon, I could find only a scruffy sketch from 1975, so here's a new sketch. It's a good few years since I made any of these pins. They are quite quick to do, the groove doesn't have to be too precise, it gets filled with solder (stiffening the pin in the process). I used a form tool to make these pins in production: 2_060951_320000000.png____ These tie-bars were used on Adavoyle Junction (P4 21mm gauge) and gave no trouble during the 20 years it was on the exhibition circuit: ad7.jpg They are unobtrusive and can be further hidden by sprinkling a bit of ballast on top of them, and adding dummy prototype stretcher bars (we never got round to doing that). Assembly is very easy, because the switch blade foot locates into the pin dry, with a bit of packing from the stock rail. Then some phos flux ...
... solder fillets then represented the chair jaws. When painted the result was a good representation of chaired track for its time, before the introduction of injection-moulded chairs. The switch rails were machined to the prototype planing, and rails supplied with all pre-formed bends. The vees were silver-soldered and finished, ready to be soft-soldered in place without risk of coming apart. The tie bars (stretcher rods) were unclad fibreglass in a pivoted design to eliminate all stress on the fixings, like this: 2_060951_320000000.png The description also errs in describing the kits as Right Hand.
