Lets play "what are they"

[tramcar trev]

A simple gig to hold things while assembled with 2 part super glue

Look a whole row of them awaiting painting,

All painted, do you know what they are????

A yes I knew what they were all along but they were upside down.....
And with the benifit of hindsight I could have made them working by making them into a switch that when knocked back by a G scale pedestrian on the line cut the power..... Na on second thoughts that would have been more trouble than its worth.... they just have to look the part though they are held in place by outside foam tape that allows them to be knocked without breaking off.....

Hmmm I was going to etch them from brass sheet but when I looked at how much sheet I would need and the fact that they would have no depth I decided to make them this way, I would have liked to make them from brass but I cant get 1/8" x 1/16" brass strip....

You'll be making the trays to go with them then?

They look very smart and are an excellent piece of detailing. (Although until I saw them fitted I was thinking lineside fencing!)

I'm sure Mr Tidswell would be impressed!

Oh? you mean complete with captured person?
For the time being the life trays will be left to the rivet counters imagination......

They look like G scale horsey things upside down... Jumps I think they call them...
On the topic of fencing in my local $2 shop there are iceblock sticks that are about 1/4" wide, I'll buy several bags as they will make superb fence palings/ pickets.
