@@WesternSignalman Thanks very much for replying to my comment. It's nice to see other people's work to get idea to improve my Channel. Take Care & Stay Safe.
Thanks Richard, they where definitely worth changing, it would have been huge mistake if I kept them in. It’s such a shame curved points are so troublesome, as they are great space savers.
the problem is the length of that plastic insulated frog .its too long for some shorter wheelbase locos. also the entry angle as the loco attacks the beginning of the point just slightly throws the loco wheels over to one side .
I had tried adapting the points to shorten the frog, it works in the fiddle yard but those ones where not quite right. What you describe was exactly what was happening, I found it weird that the Baldwin was the worst as it had a longer wheelbase than Skarloey.
Thank you. I intend to do at least one of the locos on video, i will do one off camera first so I know what I’m doing and then go through my method with the other loco.
@@WesternSignalman great looking forward to seeing those, I know people convert them fairly regularly but I rarely see those locos for sale and when I do they’re pricey
