Fixing The Pulleys

 Tuesday 22nd Feb

Three of us today at Toddington on concreting duty.  Luckily an electric concrete mixer was available, so that made life much easier. 

We have two sets of six pulley wheels to fix in position. These direct the signal wires under and across the track to the detector and the bracket signal (two for the main arms and two for the call-on arms)

And finally the detector unit is positioned on its plinth. This is secured in the concrete with 4 bolts, the heads of which are sunk in. 

Neil C spent the day fitting and connecting new cables for the track circuits.
