Its been suggested that I start a thread on a project I am working on, this is something that uses code 83 flatbottom rail with Peco Pandrol clips. its a representation of a small section of Clapham junction (north west end) and owing to a lack of trade support is a best effort using the parts available
My usual method is to build on a flat board, this one is the rear of a clip together flooring 4' x 1' of composite material. I tape the template to the board with masking tape, then cover it with thick tracing paper. I then cut thin strips of double sided tape so I can attach sleepers and timbers at both ends.
I am using Exactoscale plastic timbers which are 1.6mm thick, sleepers are cut down (this formation is to 00-SF gauge) from one of the Exactoscale 8'6" track panels and I have removed the locating pins. You can see that the 3rd timber from the toes are missing, these will be the hidden tiebars
Sorry its not one for the rivet counters or armchair warriors.
