| Good trackwork
is the most important foundation for good running and Norman
Solomon is the nation’s foremost exponent in the art
of making and laying the permanent way.
Norman’s trackwork, in all scales and gauges, has provided
the basis for some of the finest model railways ever made.
In conversation with Tony Wright, Norman explains how he
achieves such excellent trackwork from basic principles to
complex junction configurations.
Peco trackwork is probably the world’s favourite trackwork
and Norman shows how to improve the running and reliability
of Peco turnouts by making small but important modifications.
He then prepares and lays a junction using Peco track and
foam ballast.
Copper clad turnouts enable you to form a junction to your
own design. Norman shows how to construct a copper clad turnout,
including timbering, making the vee and fitting switch rails
and the tie bar.
Next, we visit Norman’s workshop in Wiveliscombe where
he designs and constructs an entire junction using C &
L chairs and sleepers.
This junction then forms the basis for the final section
which covers electrical isolation, preparing the track bed
and ballasting.
This double-DVD pack contains a list of suppliers and a reference
plan showing the components of a turnout.
Norman’s demonstrations are in OO gauge and his advice
extends to all scales and gauges from N Gauge to O gauge.
It’s all the Wisdom of Solomon. Indeed!
Here's a preview of what to expect.
