The Detectionists
Work to install a double dolly and mechanical detection through a set of points as opposed to metal detecting... The various components were greased up as part of the assembly: new grease nipples fitted having had their threads cleaned out first. There will need to be a load of finishing off jobs carried out: touching up paint, fitting split pins and setting up the detection. Which will form the subject of a future post! Previously we had made a suitable bench for the double dolly to sit on, stripped, cleaned and painted said signal and done the same with a pair of mechanical detectors. Various photos appear through previous blog entries. This time, everything came together smoothly, with the bench location determined (governed by the detectors' position and distance from the rail), marked out and dug out. The bench itself was then dropped in the hole, aligned, levelled and then packed solid. There are fixed rods between the detectors and the signal, so we positioned the detector...
