... chair on a right-hand switch. I wouldn't want to swear in a court of law that it is skewed to the timber, but it certainly looks that way: 2_230721_050000001.jpg This location is easily accessible, so I will go and have a closer look. On the left a bolted half-chair is used to allow space for chairing the long check rail behind it (the actual reason for taking the photo). Here is a wider view. L1 bridge chairs on the left (on all 3 rails): 2_230721_050000000.jpg regards, Martin. (I will copy this into the prototype pics section). posted: 29 Jan 2016 14:33 from: Martin Wynne Hi Andy, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I have decided not to proceed with this chairing project at this stage. It is turning into a minefield -- as I always knew it would do, which is why I have shied away from it for all these years. I have already spent many hours on it, and I can see that it will need ...

The chair in that shot does look as if it's skewed. If you are able to read the designation on the chair that should clinch it. Failing that take a birds-eye shot of the turnout with your drone Also, there is a note at the bottom of R1738 that says the R and L chairs apply to both RH and LH switches.

Here are a few pics showing such a check rail extended back to the switch: 2_240614_180000002.jpg 2_240614_180000001.jpg As you can see the check rail is extended as far as physically possible behind the switch rail: 2_230721_050000001.jpg To make room for the check rail chairs, bolted half-chairs are used for the closure rail: 2_230721_050000000.jpg On the GWR and BR(W) the check rail is actually attached to the back of the switch rail, using a fitting called a "check lump". To adjust check rail lengths in Templot, real> adjust check rails... menu item, and click on the label for the required check rail end (not the check rail itself). regards, Martin. posted: 24 May 2016 14:05 from: FraserSmith Thanks for that Martin.
