Is it possible for you to post a sample timbering for say a 45 degree one so that I have some idea of roughly how to shove the timbers. Hi Jamie, The best I can do is scan the drawing from David Smith's excellent GWR book. This is a 1:1 short-angle crossing: short_angle_crossing.jpg© GWSG Bear in mind that this is specifically GWR and BR(W) -- sorry I don't have any information for other companies. The "main line" rails are on through baulk timbers (waybeams) held to gauge with transoms and tie-bolts. The "branch line" baulk timbers are rebated into the main timbers. The rails are vertical in the crossing, requiring a twist in the rail at each approach and special check rail chairs. regards, Martin. posted: 17 Sep 2007 23: ...
