Hi This is as much to remind me how I did it later as much as to help others. I pondered for some time how to bend up the turnout stretcher etches from Ambis. as the destructions are not 100% clear, at least to me. http://www.ambisengineering.co.uk/ So this is my method. ( apologies for the poor quality of the photos, they were taken in the clubroom on my phone) After cutting out fettling the etch was placed in a small vice so that the part of the etch which is attached to the rail is flush with the "ears " protruding. |

Next turn 1 ear through 90Deg griping the etch at the part which will attach to the stretcher bar. |

Put the material for the stretcher ( in this case 0.4mm double sided copper clad) between the "ears". |

Squeeze the "ears" at the place where they will join the stretcher bar. |

I hope that this will be of some use to you, as it will be to me when I have to do it again. Here's a link to Hobby Holidays where I got the Copper Clad. http://www.hobbyholidays.co.uk/search.php?pg=1&stext=copper+clad&sprice=&stype=&scat= Cheers Phil |
