... nor can I stitch the photos together. Perhaps I should have taken a Panoramic photo In the top photo there is a strange bar between the rails, may be some form of locking mechanism, but why its there? The second and third photo shows the different plate under the crossing nose chair. Upper check rail has 4 2 bolt check chairs and one 4 bolt, lower check rail chairs 4 bolt chairs. Bottom photo shots sleepers of varying lengths Here is a close up or the bar 982_210308_130000000.jpg posted: 21 Aug 2014 08:46 from: Phil O Hi Hayfield There is a probability that the original check chairs cracked due to excessive forces or bad casting and were replaced with what was available. The plate under the nose is the GW standard Slab and Bracket. see this link and scroll down to see a slab and bracket on the ESR. topic 184 Finally the bar is a an adjustable tie bar used to stop rails spreading out of gauge, usually used where the chairs are a bit loose on the sleeper or timber.

Without seeing what is off the photo at the bottom left the only other thought I had is it an attempt to catch an errant wheel before it climbs the platform edge. Am interested to hear the answer.

John posted: 12 Nov 2014 16:08 from: DerekStuart Tony, I think it is the same level, just set further back. Matt, the ground there is level with the top of the sleepers and the stone wall is set back about 5ft, so I can't see it being that either. 1 sleeper left of the item appearing to be a lubricant reservoir, there looks to be 'something' on the rail head. Not sure what. Perhaps even just a trick of the light. Only other option- it's a check rail ready to be moved ...

Can I make one suggestion though? In the bottom photo you have a flangeway gauge to space the check rail from the stock rail. The critical dimension there is actually the distance from the crossing nose to the check rail- see CG (Check Gauge) in the diagram below, or refer to this thread 105_220431_590000000.png This photo shows a couple of gauges in use to ensure the check rail is the correct ...

It is, or was, one of the earlier forms of rail used on very early railways, pre dating Stevenson, though, I doubt the rail shown in the photos is that early. However, it was also used right up to the late 1930s or even 40s, mainly for the radius rail of turntables. Most turntables used this form for the radius rail (the circle rail). One ...

... Nicholls Hi Simon, Sorry to hear your having 'teething' problems, fortunately, you have come to the right place for help. However, it would be useful if you would state what scale you are trying to use, and post the bgs file of your background image, and the box file of what you have done so far. There are plenty of people that can and will help, but we need the basic info to see what can be done. All the best, Brian. posted: 25 Sep 2014 08:28 from: Hayfield Simon Like all things I tend to find the longest way round doing things. I would fit the bottom crossover and two left hand turnouts first, then fit the sidings.

749. Inserting a loop
... turnouts will have interlaced sleepers and loose heel switches. To produce a nice sweeping curve, the main running line and the loop line have been drawn using transition s-curves. Can anyone tell me what would be the best way of incorporating two crossovers into the transition s-curves to complete the run-round loop. Having tried a number of techniques from the tutorials, I found that I am having trouble maintaining the original s-curves.

751. Laser cutting
... main development since then is that most folks have realised that the whole thing is a daft idea. It is far more difficult and time-consuming, with significant risk of damage, to remove the webs after construction of pointwork than the traditional method of snipping timber strip to length and fixing it on a paper template. Coupled with the great waste of material and extra cost if purchased ready-made, the perceived advantage of this method is something of a mystery. regards, Martin. posted: 12 Aug 2013 10:08 from: Alan Turner I have been using a laser cutter of late (no not turnout templates). I was told that I needed DXF files but when I put them into the laser software it was hopeless; stray lines everywhere. I suspect that it only worked if the DXF came from a particular programme. What I did try was a PLT file (reasoning that the laser cutter was probably converting the DXF to PLT anyway as it worked on HPGL language). Worked a treat so now I supply the PLT ...

I suspect as Martin suggests you may be inadvertantly draging the workpad, If you hold down the left mouse button when it is on the workpad i.e. not over a template, the pointer will change to a four way arrow and the screen will follow the mouse movement. Tony. No, the whole window is moving across the screen, It seems to be eratic and hard to reproduce. J posted: 5 Mar 2012 20:08 from: stuart1600 I have encountered something which may be similar to what Julia has described. If I select, for example, F4 to change the length of the control template and then move the mouse, sometimes I get drag panning instead, complete with the "compass point" cursor. I have assumed that this is due to some slight delay between hitting F4 key and Templot actually implementing the function, so that the mouse is automatically putting drag panning into effect. It is random, and I have noticed the same ...
... it contains shoved timbers -- click the tools> make tools: options> retain shoved timbers menu option. 7. template> insert turnout in plain track menu item. The shoved timbers issue is tricky -- often you won't want to retain the shoved timbers because they were shoved to avoid a conflict in one specific location only. That's why there is an option setting on this, but you have to remember to set it before each make/insert operation. regards, Martin. posted: 30 Jul 2012 17:08 from: Alan McMillan Hi Martin Thanks for the clarification.

754. 00-SF templates
... a Templot reference. I'm just starting out again with building a layout, and I really want to build my own track using Templot, but I can't seem to see how I produce the template for the whole layout. I know some people say/ seem to do it by eye but I'm not confident enough to do this. I have followed advice and have bought a C&L point to make( so that I have made a kit version first). Thanks in advance Mike posted: 1 Jul 2012 20:08 from: Robert Preston Hi, I'm in the same situation – using 00-SF with home-made turnouts and bought-in flexi track for the in-between bits. I've just set it all up for 00-SF and laid the flexi track to the template. Doesn't seem to cause any problem. Incidentally, the first bit of track I made in 00-SF was a cross-over on a curve and it was a doddle (mind you, you must have all the gauges) and all ...

Any thoughts? regards Dave posted: 2 Jul 2012 22:16 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, Missing where? On the trackpad? On the sketchboard? In image files? On the printed templates? On the DXF exports?

760. gluing sleepers
... in Germany. Hence asking for suggestions for an adhesive for sticking metal rail to wooden sleepers. Superglue doesn't do the trick. It is worth noting that after fixing the rail in place I have been making a 0.6mm hole in each sleeper next to the rail and inserting a pin, which gives the appearance of a small chair, this is a photo of a test to see how well this method worked: TrackSpike-01_sm.jpg This is purely cosmetic and isn't intended to provide any mechanical strength.

Julia, Do you need to glue your rail to the wooden sleepers. I used the same method of track construction on an N scale layout many years ago- using a PCB sleeper every four or five wooden sleepers, and the PCB sleepers were more than adequate to hold the rail in place. I've also, more recently, built track with the 2mm Association ...
