Sometimes plans just don't work out. You can see in the photo below that the base of the fuelling point is just too wide to fit between the sleepers. I could just leave it and have a lopsided structure but no, I had a plan!
All I needed to do was raise the base above the sleepers. That was the plan! So out came some balsa the same thickness as the sleepers and I made a base for the base! The only problem was that trying to get a loco onto the fueling point, the loco now collided with the base. So it was onto plan B. That involved lifting the glued track and swinging it a couple of mm out.
With that done, the base now fitted between the sleepers and locos no longer collided with it.
So now it is place all I need to do is ballast the track. That is a job for another day.
