tramcar trev
all manner of mechanical apparatus...
I have at long last started to go where no G scale tramway moddler has gone before. I'm building a set of 3 way points which will eventualy end up as my depot fan. I'm going to try and copy the only set I know of in existence currently in use at the Brisbane Tramway Museum. Does anyone know of any others? I gather that they were relatively common in the UK during the days of proper tramways. In the pic it can be seen I have the sleepers screwed down to the drawing and an outside rail rolled to fit...... then I ran out of rail, I'll have to get more before I proceed.... There are some really nice 3 way hand laid points but they all seem to be of the Stub style, I'll try and remain as authentic as I can.
Saves having to make a Traverser....
I'm also thinking that inside the depot building I'll run a "Dolter" style power supply as all my buildings will be removeable and removable overhead has obvious technical problems. After seeing what the Canberra winter weather can do to phenolic resin Vero board I have no choice but to make my buildings removable.... all my colour light staff Vero board "PCB's" were destroyed by frost.....
More on this project as work progresses...
