... companies were conducting many experiments with FB track before nationalisation, and there were several designs. The FB-109 design was standardised by BR in the early 1950s, using machined check rail flares. Other companies had different ideas, this is CIE practice at Dundalk in 1986: 2_170837_040000000.png regards, Martin. posted: 17 Jan 2011 14:05 from: BeamEnds Hi Martin, thanks for that- plained it is then!

I've got a few complex junctions that I'm shoving timbers around but I keep ending up with biggish gaps between them.

... topic: 1131 Contact Details posted: 25 May 2010 07:39 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, Just a short note to let everybody know that after some problems in changing webhosting providers. http://www.borg-rail.com is now back up and running. http://www.borg-rail.co.uk still has a problem but this should be resolved if not today then within the next day or so. I had hoped to park to co.uk on top of the com site but this is not proving possible at the moment. However both sites should be the same anyway. Don't forget to reload/refresh your browser view and possibly delete recent history to see the latest version. Apart from all the previous stuff on track and signals etc there is a new insulated tiebar available. No plastic parts or sleeving and very easy to fit.

Can the sleeper arrangements featured in the attached design be achieved in Templot, or is this a "bridge too far"?

... Can anyone shed some light on what chairs to use as the C&L and P4 track company instructions only appear valid for regular turnouts, not interlaced. posted: 12 Sep 2010 23:45 from: Paul Hamilton Given the overwhelming response I gather that I may need to add a photograph of what I am talking about to make it clearer! Will do this evening. One clarification is that no templates exist for interlaced timbers so I have no reference for chair type and positioning. posted: 13 Sep 2010 01:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Paul, Which prototype are you modelling? There is a detailed drawing of a NER sleepered (interlaced) crossing, including chairing, in the NER 1912 Permanent Way Standards book.

The last thing I want is a flood of support requests from people saying they can't see the videos. The great advantage of the Camtasia Player is that it works without fail on all systems, right back to Windows 95.

... topic: 1165 Timbering in crossovers posted: 12 Jul 2010 21:07 from: geoff Apologies if this has been covered before. I was making a 1 in 12 crossover using the "Tools>make simple crossover" function with tracks at the usual 11ft 2inches centres. The result is something where you have to shove timbers and for this 1 in 12 I ended up with timbers going ABCDEDCBA from nose to nose where the ABCD refer to the usual chair nomenclature. Is this protypical to have a central timber? If so how are the rail joints arranged? By contrast 1 in 8 works out real neat( ABCCBA) with a gap in the centre where the two halves of the crossover can be fish-plated together. My question is: is my reasoning right or can somebody please explain prototype practice?

Full details of all the Exactoscale P&C chairs are available at http://www.exactoscale.co.uk/4mmtrackinst.html and excellent they are as well- though how you would fit them into 16.5mm pointwork I could not say having only used them in P4. Certainly, the check chairs are intended for either P4 or S4 standards.

But I'm committed with Several thousands of dolars of UK outline stuff that I want to see as a dynamic display! Thanks for pointing things out. If I don't know then I can ...
