Prototypes differ widely on this of course, but long timbers are expensive and only used where really needed. Here I have reduced the number to 6 long timbers instead of 11 in your plan, set the vee rails to span 5 timbers as you wanted, and closed up the timbers at the joints (1 :7 wide crossover, 9ft sleepers): 2_210922_240000000.png You could argue that only 4 long timbers would have been enough, although the GWR did tend to use more than most companies. regards, Martin. posted: 21 Apr 2010 14:57 from: David Hiya guys Thanks for your replies....

The basic rule is that you can't move the special chairs, i.e. any chair which supports more than one rail. They will fit the rails in only one position. So you must arrange the timbers so that there is timber under those positions.
