... topic: 1300 Making slips using C&L components posted: 5 Dec 2010 08:22 from: roythebus A bit of advice needed here, having nearly finished my track plan, I've started building a double slip using C&L components in OO gauge. Is it recommended to use PCB sleepers in certain places such as under the K crossings as this would seem a weak spot, and it is difficult keeping things in alignment just using the C&L plastic chairs glued to plastic sleepers. Also, does anyone make a V crossing jig as I have to make about 50 for my layout and to use the ready made C&L units would be rather beyond my pocket! posted: 5 Dec 2010 13:06 from: JFS You can't solder rail directly to PCB sleepers as they will support the rails at a lower height than the chairs. I always use small brass or N/S strips to secure the different bits of rail which comprise the crossings. These can then be secured to the (plywood) sleepers using Exopy ...
... the 1:9 impossible. On the plan it's ended up as a 1:10-ish, which works well with the rest of the layout of Manchester Central. [The attached version is a mirror image just in case anyone is wondering.] Any comments/feedback, as usual much appreciated. Next is the "Special Layout" on the station approach- mainly tandems, slips, diamonds and B8.5 with a 7.5 diamond through the middle.

Does this happen for any one else who has downloaded it for a look? Hi Paul, Do you mean that the timber numbering is missing on the screen view, the print, or both? If it is only the print, try changing to a lower printer resolution. 300dpi is plenty adequate for a track construction template. regards, Martin. posted: 7 May 2009 08:23 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, I've just downloaded the pdf and timber numbering looks just fine throughout.

645. Turnout Stock Rails
... topic: 1324 Turnout Stock Rails posted: 1 Jan 2011 08:02 from: polybear Hi all, I'm in the process of making a B8 R/H Turnout using Bullhead rail; it's 4mm and using copperclad sleepers with Masokits etched brass chairs. My question is: what is the best way to accommodate the tips of the switch blades where they meet the stock rails? Put a "set" in the curved stock rail? And if so should I do this in the straight stock rail also? Or go for joggles- in one or both rails? What are the best ways of creating both these methods please, and how to judge when it's the correct amount of "set" or "joggle"? My interest lies with ex-LNER/LMS, late 50's to early 60's. However, my first priority is for good reliable running, even if it means using a technique which wasn't commonplace at this time (I think joggles were more a pre-grouping technique?) Many thanks.

... the curves as gentle as I can, but of course with such a large layout sacrifices have to be made. I'll raise the issues of the slips with him. Any other particular ones to be wary of? Thanks again Rovex posted: 13 May 2011 06:46 from: roythebus On the right end of the plan, have you considered curving the platforms gently, that way you will have a larger radius on all the curves there. There's very little straight track on the real railway! posted: 13 May 2011 08:04 from: rovex Very true and after I'd dne the first track plan I found that the four main lines through the station have a very shallow curve on them, but as the overall roof was going to be a tough build anyway without coping with a curve as well I kept them straight. We've not built anything for this end yet. I'll give it a go. Thanks Rovex posted: 13 May 2011 09:31 from: Jim Guthrie Rovex, From recent experience, I would agree with JFS on ...
... upload unfortunately (13Mb). I created the Sketchup model to see how having an elevated signal box would work. Looks good I reckon, especially with all the steps leading to the platform and box. Quite why this station would ever have been built in the middle of Somerset is a mystery.

Why is all this necessary? This information should be put in a Preferences menu under Edit. Finally the next menu asks for more information and then I have to choose the Gauge all over again.

Hi Paul, The easiest solution is to overlay a second rails-only template to create the conductor rails, using the align function. Change the track gauge to put the conductor rail at the correct spacing.

It's not recommended that you do that while you are still designing your track plan, you need those marks to know what you are doing. You also need them when constructing track on the templates if you use radius aids to set the fixed radii.
