Replacing The Tracks...

Hi all. Just a simple day today, replacing a few points on the Garden Railway. This winter, like the previous one, caused major damage to our points. We just about managed to 'scrape' through 2010 with a few repairs here and there but, by January this year the electrical conduction was so bad that trains often slowed and sped up when they felt like it! Therefore, I decided to take action. However, points are so expensive now! Hornby wanted around £70 for three Express Points and one Standard Point; horrid! The prices have gone mad lately. Eventually, I bought the same four points from Hatton's (a model shop up north) for just over £50. Any saving is a saving afterall! As of today, the new points are fitted and the conduction is fantastic again. Trains again run the entire circuit without problem! Evening All...
