SM32 foot crossing timber kit
My question is, Where did I buy this kit as I want some more?
Thanks
Regards

Re: SM32 foot crossing timber kit
Can't help on the source Andy - have you had it 'in stock' for long? But it does look to be a useful item. With that as a guide, I'm sure you could knock something up in 5mm foamex?

Precisely what I was going to say- I've done exactly that myself.

Re: SM32 foot crossing timber kit
Thanks all for replying.
I think I bought them within the last 12 months but can't be sure.
I need about 10 - 12 such crossings on my railway and I bought 6. I have a island platforms within passing loops and no bridges. Also a number of places which would make sense to have a foot crossing and they do look good.
They would not be technically very challenging to scratch but they would be time consuming and repetetive.
Also these kits do not depend on the 'timbers' adhering to the sleepers or the track bed as the 'timber' components stick to an insert that fits in the gap between rail and the sleeper on Peco sm32 track. You can see this insert through the gap for the wheels in the photo.
I will keep looking unless I run out of other things to do.

Re: SM32 foot crossing timber kit
Hopefully you will find the maker. However, if you do decide to make more, what about making a resin mould - that would ease some of the repetition?andymctractor wrote: ↑Mon Jun 21, 2021 7:37 pmThanks all for replying.

Re: SM32 foot crossing timber kit
It's not a kit, but have you looked at Peco SL-801.
Sleepering for points, about 7" long and look like the same molding as the SM32 sleepers.

Re: SM32 foot crossing timber kit
Certainly worth thinking about.
Thank to all.
With a bit of luck, I will be at the National Show and will keep my eyes open there to.
