Clearance for CSB wires
Posted: Fri Feb 14, 2020 1:46 pm
What vertical clearance is required for CSB wires without impeding the suspension?
I am trying to arrange frame spacers in a diminutive 0-6-0 prototype that uses High Level hornblocks. Am I right in assuming that the lowest position on the High Level CSB jig ('A') would automatically require trimming of the hornblock cheeks to avoid interfering with the wire?
At the moment I have chosen to use position 'C' - the highest - but now have problems locating the frame spacers. As I am using split axles these are 1.6mm thick copper clad i.e. 'chunky'.
In the picture below, the hornblocks have been loosely positioned in the correct vertical position (with the locking tab against the top of the cutouts). As can be seen the bottom of the hornblocks will require trimming to match the frames....
