Platform 50340

[JimmyB]

I have just purchased some of this, off the well known auction site, and it did come with instructions (including English), however, the instructions are quite vague, so if I explain my issue, hopefully somebody can help.
Trying a couple of the parts on some Aristocraft track, I had difficulty in getting it to fit, so routing out a 4ft length of LGB, I had another go. It does not seem to fit, except between to spaced (with a fishplate) sleepers, is this correct, also there are slots in the ends of the platform, but no joining items. Any advice would be appreciated.

This is pic of mine on LGB track, the slot is if you use it on Shorty Lengths of straight so that it will sit over the LgB connection pieces (ref 11500) that slot under LGB sleepers to keep things in place. I have held mine in place with brass screws because I wanted them somewhat firmer as I use them to rerail large locomotives.

The slots in the "outside" ends are for wiring for signals and points. For some time, I thought that they were so you could extend the depth of the platform by adding another half length to it, but "No", that doesn't work.

I've a set of instructions which shows this (I think) so I'll find them and post them, unless someone does so before me.
