Nictor Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Just wondering what the black squares are for on the Skaledale straight platform sections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howbi Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 They are for the Canopy Supports to plug into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictor Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 So you'd have to drill them out then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjb1961 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I thought they were drains ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2e0dtoeric Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 That's the Hornby plastic platform, not the Scaledale! 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howbi Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 But the Skaledale platforms don't have black squares on them, the Hornby ones do so I assume the OP is referring to these.......... 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bogie Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I have a couple of the hornby platform sections. Was never 100% sure what the square openings were for. My best guess is that they represent drains ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 There is only a single black square on the Scaledale platforms, not two, and it is centrally in the middle. I go with the suggestion that they represent drains../media/tinymce_upload/952e0c2b4a3958e66893bc25ca27e704.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howbi Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 So, I surmise that the Skaledale platforms have printed black squares and the Hornby platforms have square openings in which to plug the canopy supports.......... 😀...........HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfox4475 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 They are to show where to put station lamp standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I reckon they are to show where to put a suitcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictor Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 So nobody really knows. They look as if they have been applied with a felt tip or similar to each one. Not drains. Why bother to put a mark down for something such as a lamp that many people may not bother with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 They are drains. Almost all ready made platforms have drains marked on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
