98%...

This afternoon I tackled the Y. Bit the bullet and cut off the straight end at the first tie past the nose of the points and attached enough pre-curved bar to complete the whole bend. One end of that bend is welded to points number 2 and now jigged for welding to points #3 (the Y) - tomorrow...

Its more important that the main track curves are smooth bends. The Y not so much...

Also only assembled enough of points #4 to lay it out properly, so I better get on with the frog and installing the blades, which are ready to go..

So I have a 1.2m length of straight to finish, a few other bits of track to finish and several ties to weld in...
