If you are modelling track on a girder viaduct, here is an interesting detail pic posted on the Finescale Workshop forum.

Bullhead track on waybeams, with adjustable turnbuckle gauge tie-rods:

Rockmill Viaduct, Cornwall, between St Blazey and Luxulyan.

With all those adjustable gauge tie-bars in the track I would think that those way beams are over due for renewal. They are only normally ued where several sleepers have deteriorated to such a degree that their unlikely to hold gauge.

At one time several of the platform roads at Paddington had alternate gauge tie-bars and acrow props on the baulks before they were all replaced in the last rebuild. Unfortunately I never had a camera with me to take a few photo's.

Cheers Phil

Hi Phil,

Yes, a note later in that topic says the photo was taken in connection with a planned renewal.

regards,

Martin.

Well,  I tried to subscribe but activation seems to take days - I'm still waiting two days later.  :)   Could be the reason that their membership is still only around 100. :)

Hi Jim,

Have you tried signing in?

I found I could sign in, search and view immediately after registering.

I think it is only the posting permissions which require activation.

I can see you (flubrush) in the membership list. :)

regards,

Martin.

It works.:)   I have to confess to being so busy with my business that I have only been able to give the Internet a cursory glance over the past week or so,  so I haven't been as adventurous as I might have been otherwise. :)

Is this an RMWEB breakaway?   I see a good few familiar names appearing.

Jim.

Hi Jim,

Well not a hostile breakaway. I think a few members felt RMweb has got too big, and it's too difficult to find the good stuff among the recipes for ginger cake and suggestions for the next Hornby catalogue cover picture. :)

So they have created a sort of RMweb Lite version, with emphasis on the finescale end of the hobby. In practice I suspect most stuff will simply be duplicated across from RMweb.

For myself I have not found RMweb a problem, but I do tend to use Google site search more than just browsing the lists. If you search on EM, P4, S7, C&L, Slater's, Exactoscale, Templot (:)), etc., you can find a lot of excellent material on RMweb.

regards,

Martin.

Hi Alan,

RMweb is temporarily offline while it moves to a new higher-capacity server.
