Re: Karlgarin rail and check clearances
We used to run a bead of solder along the rail foot to bond them together when handlaying code 70 for Sn3. Just hold them together, touch with flux, drop solder in or use solder paint, apply

Re: Karlgarin rail and check clearances
Thanks John, How very convenient! presumably there might be some way of bonding the rails together with strips beneath. I have used Karlgarin rail before, but it was in 16.5. It looked really

Ffestiniog Earl
As a Ffestiniog Railway modeller (I must admit to having more of a kit collection than model collection), I was disappointed to hear that the 1979 double Fairlie 'Earl of Merioneth' was to be taken
