First 3 metre length of straight track in the jig was made yesterday!!Welded under the rails - with new rods!!! My old ones got wet ... again. Also used newly cut gauge gauges at 127.1mm, and every metal clamp I own.
All the sleeper/tie spacing (150mm) was carefully measured so I will flip the track back into the jig and weld on some locating guide plates for easy positioning of ties on the next length.
The jig will soon be a 4 way device: straight, 4m curve, left point, right point!!
