... topic: 2980 Long timbers in double junction posted: 12 Feb 2017 22:36 from: FraserSmith I was looking through Wikipedia for pictures of timbering at wide track formations and spotted this photo by Signalhead under CC BY-SA 3.0 in the Switched Diamond section. I have a couple of similar situations and I was unsure as to how the timbering would be dealt with but having seen this I think I might use this method. 3137_121655_330000000.png Is it common for the timbers to be arranged like this with alternate timbers having joints in the 4ft of the crossing tracks? It's not clear whether the last few timbers towards the concrete sleepers are similarly joined.

The gaps are in the four foot of a running line and one of the crossing lines. 3137_121655_330000000.png HTH Fraser posted: 1 Jan 2020 10:18 from: johndon Thanks for all the suggestions. John posted: 1 Jan 2020 19:27 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, That 25ft timber is not necessarily too long. Most companies kept timbers up to about 20ft as stock items. That's enough to span a double-track crossover, etc. Longer timber up to about 30ft would be ordered as specials from the timber yard, as needed. But they were expensive, so used only on heavy-traffic ...
