Track Update

The new flat bottom track is now in place along with the new manual switches. Many thanks to Kevin Martin for all his help with this.

Bratton Fleming

Moving further out into the country have now arrived at Bratton Fleming. Here are some of the assets for the station.



I have made the watertank as a fuelpoint asset and animated the filling spout to swing out when activated, but, in reality, this tank was very rarely used as it was too far from the platform to fill up the loco tanks whilst the train was standing in the station.

Track

The original track on the route was the 2ft bullhead available from UKTS but it has been decided to upgrade to the flat bottom rails that was actually used on the Lynton & Barnstaple.

Therefore, with the help of Kevin Martin, the track is being replaced with a L&B specific track which will be included with the route. At the same time, an opportunity has been taken to replace both the buffers and the manual switches with something more prototypical to the route.

Here's a couple of photos of the results so far.

The first shows the wooden faced concrete buffer used extensively through the route.



Second shot shows the flat bottomed track, the new ballast and the manual switch.



Still a WIP but I hope they show what we are trying to achieve.
