      Hi Mike , yes problem that we all seem to get , I do normally leave a tiny gap ,, but just could not get a smooth run over these points , so as I said I soldered the joint , it sure got running smoother over with no loss of sound on the joint .. next heatwave May bring back the problem?? … cheers Dave

    Hi Dave, back in the loft now the cooler weather here and the nights drawing in.
    Your doing a good job with the track maintenance. I've just lifted some of .I've as its not feared too well in that heatwave We had. Some of it warped a little. You can't beat those track ballasters.
    All the best Pete 👍

      Hi Peter , yes you cure one area then after summer or a very cold winter , there appears another track problem , but after all these years just about getting the hang of repairing ...one thing i did though which would not normally do was to solder on the points joint , as you see it ran over very smoothly in the end after doing that ...something may do on all in the future ...may just stop the points loco jump we get ...Cheers dave

Think I paid £90 for mine some 10 years ago think they are double that now , if you can find them … they are the best though …. Cheers Dave

    Dave, I love your videos. A request from an American...When trying to understand what you are saying with your accent (to me anyways) it would be helpful if you could quiet the locomotive sounds. When you are just running trains its fine but when you are trying to convey information it is difficult to understand what you are saying. Keep up your videos as I am learning how to build my RR.

    Hi Dave, I have a couple of Peko points on my lay out, and they gave me problems till I went over them with a small file, one still gives me problems occasionality I think it needs the plastic at the frog cutting deaper

    • @howarth004
      @howarth004  Рік тому

      Yes think something causes this problem , i ass you might have heard me say did solder over the joint then file down and as shown near the end the 66 ran over nice and smooth , whereas it jumped on there before ..its all some of the problems we get ..cheers dave
