The Wills kit did one positive thing, it got me thinking about how I would create the illusion of point rodding using metal parts. More 1mm square brass rod has been sent for while other bits will be fabricated from metal so I can solder ~ always my fav method.
The whole rodding assembly needs to be tough with being so close to the track and constant activities of a track rubber. My points are already activated by 1mm square brass rod. Crude but affective.
