Trackwork

The right side is ready now:


I started the 2nd switch oher than the first one. Now the point gets a brass base to fix the rail on. Soldered:



And smoothend:


The first rail:


And the second one. It is held in place with Wenz pieces and I take extra care with the NMRA gauge::



Wing rails fiited the same way as the point, soldered and spiked:


The turnout is ready now, it works properly and itruns good with a truck through it:


On the way to the last one. The outer rail is spiked, the inner is just for positioning the point of the turnout:


 Brass plate fitted and point shaped rails:


Point soldered and the first rail in place:


Time to go to bed.... tired. Tomorrow and Sunday will be good for finishing the trackwork!
