Dartmouth restarted

Postby Paul Townsend » Tue Dec 07, 2021 4:14 pm

After my summer hiatus, I am once again progressing the build.
If you read about Dartmouth paused you know that I had a trackwork problem and sought advice.
It took 2 attempts to reinstate the crossing 0.3mm back from its previous position, my final method was as suggested by Andrew Nummelin:

Resolder the Vee with Hiogh MP solder, attach dropper wires, drill holes with generous clearance to allow adjustment, araldite the assembly in place.

It needed a lot of gauges but worked OK.

Unfortunately the two offending locos still derail in the same place so maybe my June diagnosis was wrong :(

Some more testing is implied so I am taking a break from this annoying fault and am doing something else, to give a quicker reward.
