My weekend project: My trolley station had a serious safety issue that was mitigated this weekend. The retaining wall needed some kind of obstacle to prevent impaired passengers from wandering off in the wrong direction and doing a full or half gainer off the wall. Solution - build a fence. I first had to make a profile pattern to determine angles and post spacing. Next I transferred the spacing to a wood strip and proceeded to construct a fence using 1/16 x.014 Sq brass from Precision Metals. I had to make three sections and then join them together. All that is left is to clean up the joints with a file, insert mounting pins, prime & finish coat and install. This ought to get OSHA off my back!
Unfortunately, I was again able to ignore the Pink and Blue mountain calling me for another weekend.

Since this piece did not have an end post, I added a temporary wire keeper for support while soldering to the other section.
The keeper was removed after the two sections were joined
Keeper gone!
Finished except for inserting mounting pins (the square tubing has a hollow core).
Test fit. Tomorrow its clean up some solder joints, add mounting pins, prime, finish coat and install.
Maybe next week - the mountain!!!!!!!!!
