Are there any pictures of pemanent track with temporary walkways laid over it, as has been suggested at least a couple of times? I can't quite picture it.
Hmm. Not sure. It's a tight spot - I'll check.philipy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 6:22 am Could you move the top (RH) turnout to the right and the bottom (LH) T/o to the left, straighten both sections of track and join them by a short length of diagonal track. You would then have three lengths of plain track crossing the path which could be permanently fixed in some way similar to mine
I'm not sure either!
Also, it looks like you didn't use check rails - is that right?
Thanks very much for this information. Two questions:philipy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 6:22 am The track in both cases is screwed to a concrete base, check rails fitted and then the whole lot concreted solid. I guess there is no reason in principle why you couldn't do the same thing with a couple of turnouts included. but if there was ever a problem with the blade/tie-bar movement it would be next to impossible to repair.
- what method is recommended for screwing track directly to concrete?
- how do you fit check rails, and can it be done with Peco track?
I really wouldn't want to encase pointwork in concrete!
