... board The rail profile will be Peco's code 100 flatbottom, firstly to match the flexitrack, but also to my eye looks far better than a smaller profile I have I have tried attaching a file using a 12' switch and adjusted timbers to match Peco's flexitrack, but for some reason the file is too large and will not upload? Last edited on 20 Dec 2018 14:11 by Hayfield posted: 20 Dec 2018 20:50 from: Stephen Freeman You could go the whole hog and use either code 82 or 100 Karlgarin rail. posted: 21 Dec 2018 09:27 from: Hayfield Stephen I have tried code 82& 75 in the past, but even though I used ST base plates and chairs the rail profile looked too small. Not aware of Karlgarin rail at all Had thought of perhaps using S scale rail and chairs owing to 4mm looking too small and 7 mm too large I have some very old Peco wire Indvidualay products, failing that I will use Peco track spikes posted: 21 Dec 2018 11:50 from: Hayfield ...

Code 100 FB might be about right. Google Colonel Stephens Railways Photographs for examples. Cheers, Andy Andy, Plenty of talk about Colonel Stephens in this video. Southern England Byways Rob posted: 10 Feb 2018 11:23 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, If you decide on using Flatbottom can I suggest Karlgarin rail as being a better product? posted: 10 Feb 2018 19:00 from: Rob Manchester Borg-Rail wrote: Hi, If you decide on using Flatbottom can I suggest Karlgarin rail as being a better product? Hi Stephen, Thanks for the suggestion. Think I dealt with Karlgarin some years ago. A motor-biking chap if I remember? The rail certainly looks nice. I think the code 82 would be fine with Slaters wheel profiles as there wouldn't be any chairs for the flanges to bang on ...
... which is in storage following a fire so I do not have it handy. I will post my template separately.

It is designed for narrow gauge having a wider foot than the standard type. It is also HiNi as well Interested to know how you are going to represent the metal timbering. posted: 28 Apr 2020 11:07 from: wcampbell23 Hi Bruce Some of the KBscale products are now available through Narrow Planet- have a look at: http://shop.narrowplanet.co.uk/collections/kbscale?page=2 This would provide the sleepering and matching turnout "timbering".

... Scalefour Society has just taken delivery of over a kilometre of flat bottom nickel silver rail... Thanks Paul. Can you clarify the height of this rail? The only flat-bottom rail I can see on the Stores list: http://www.scalefour.org/members/stores/shops.php is code 55 FB, in steel. cheers, Martin. posted: 23 Mar 2018 11:19 from: Stephen Freeman I have some of the Peco code 83, head width is 0.85mm as far as I can tell. Karlgarin also do a code 82 but the foot width is a little wider than Peco so won't fit Peco Pandrol clips. Karlgarin measured Head width 1.09mm. polybear wrote: Rob Manchester wrote: One other thing that came from the thread was that Peco have discontinued IL-115 Code 82 FB rail. That is a bit of a sod as it is the only FB rail with proper head width for UK 1:76 layouts.

... I have and making notes. Then back into Templot to work through what makes up a correct formation. Currently also getting on top of another CAD program, this one happily seems to work on Apple Mac without keeling over. Then to reproduce the chairs for 70lb double headed rail (still have to select a model rail profile to match), that was the mainstay of the NSWGR from 1857 to 1894. And the correct switch slide chairs for the 70lb flat bottom rail that replaced it, (accurate rail thankfully sorted by Karlgarin Models). Lots to do. Regards, Matt M. posted: 25 Aug 2014 13:42 from: Matt M. Oops. 75lb double headed rail and 71-1 /2lb flat bottom. Need more sleep.

... 22:15 from: Martin Wynne Hi Ian, 65lb/yard flat-bottom rail is 4.11/16" tall. At 5.5mm/ft that scales to 0.085", i.e. Code 85. 60lb/yard flat-bottom rail is 4.1/2" tall. At 5.5mm/ft that scales to 0.081", i.e. Code 81. Code 82 and Code 83 flat-bottom rail is available. regards, Martin. posted: 12 May 2015 22:25 from: Martin Wynne p.s. Ian, Karlgarin Models have some specialist rail sections intended for narrow-gauge, see: http://www.karlgarin.com/whatsnew.htm Martin. posted: 13 May 2015 08:15 from: Jim Guthrie And there's Andy May's page on the S Scale web site with the prototype dimensions of a huge range of rails. http://www.s-scale.org.uk/rails.htm Jim.

... rail. I just need to move some boxes to get at it. The Peco rail was easier to find to hand. Somewhere I also have some original Slaters code 131 bullhead, which is the correct scale size for BS-95R rail in 7mm scale. Slaters nowadays are denying they ever supplied such a thing, despite the fact that it is specifically mentioned in their 7mm trackbuilding handbook. Presumably admitting it would mean acknowledging that their current code 125 rail is underscale. Even S7 modellers seem to be using it, and Karlgarin are supplying it too. If you have some 0 gauge bullhead it would be worth measuring it. cheers, Martin. posted: 26 Dec 2018 22:44 from: Rob Manchester Martin Wynne wrote: If you have some 0 gauge bullhead it would be worth measuring it. cheers, Martin. Hi Martin, I just measured my stocks of O scale bullhead, not sure it was worth it though All I have is C&L and some rail supplied by Marcway years ago. Both measure 0.125" height and ...
... ) for some sections that were laid in late XIX/ early XX century and lasted way after the railroad demise in late 90s. At_Paranapiacaba_2018_180.jpg Here is from when bullhead was the main rail, a lighter section than BS95R (layout will be in HO) 3344097107_49ec58bc39.jpg a-ferrovia-14.jpg Just to have a glimpse on what I will be doing... posted: 15 Aug 2019 06:51 from: Martin Wynne Hi Ewerthon, Thanks for the pictures -- looks to be an interesting project. You could try asking Karlgarin about sourcing steel rail: http://www.karlgarin.com/ cheers, Martin. posted: 16 Aug 2019 12:30 from: a_nummelin This sounds as though it will be a fascinating project. I wonder if Templot has the parameters for your track work- are you working to 1:87 scale (18.39mm gauge I believe)? Flat bottom rail fixings seemed variable (or even absent) 1520_160633_370000000.jpg For the bullhead track, should you use 3 or 4 bolt chairs? 1520_160636_010000000.jpg For those of you who may not be ...
