... topic: 3307 progress report- chairs in the output posted: 16 Jul 2018 20:34 from: Martin Wynne As I mentioned, the reports of folks using 3D printing to create bullhead chairs has spurred me to move chairing in Templot from the NOD* list to the to-do list. I started some experimental work a couple of years ago, and I have now returned to it. It seemed that if the output was to be of any use in 3D printing, the chair outlines would need to have the proper corner radii. It's a lot of extra calculation with 4 chairs on most crossing timbers, but it hasn't impacted too much on the screen response for full track plans. Obviously you would switch the chairs on only for the final printed templates, they are not needed while track planning. It's fiendishly complex. For example the REA bridge chairs (L1) have a larger corner radius (1.3/4 ") than ordinary S1 chairs (which have 1" corner radius): 2_161458_330000001.png And GWR slide chairs have a ...
... ) I noticed that in templot it appears that A3 is the largest paper size you can print to. Is this a function of the particular pdf writer I have or the program itself? I am imagining it is a function of the pdf for free writer I had downloaded into my virtul windows environment. Any suggestions on where I can get A2 print sizing would be much appreciated. (Saves all the sticky tape you see!) 2) Having printed the track plan to pdf I notice that there are of course no chair details shown (as opposed to the templates provided by the likes of Brian at C&L). Being a novice when it comes to track building and knowledge of the permanent way what is the best approach when it comes to deciding and detailing the appropriate chairs required to build the trackwork? I have 8 of C&L's point kits which contain a significant number of the standard sliding chairs and regular four bolt chairs that suit my Midland based layout. Will this be a case of posting an image of each pontwork ...
... ?( ie between the tongue and the lead) secondly, reading the scalefour notes on loose heeled switches, there can be an issue with the stock rail to switch clearance with the switch is open, this would be exacerbated in oo-sf, is this the case, would it be better to stick with fixed heel? any hints on how to make the Joggle, I havent worked out reliable way to do this( 0.2mm joggle) thanks dave I build loose heel switches as loose heel switches. I use plastic chairs. Reckon there's enough give in the heel chair for the switch to move as intended. This is 3mm/ft.

... I'm progressing with building my Templot track layout of Claremorris in Ireland circa 1975-85. This will be all bullhead on wooden sleepers. I dont want to go to 21mm, as theres too much plain track to build( and stock to convert), so have decided to use 00-SF. its a decision I didn't take lightly what would people now consider as the pre-eminent way to build 00-SF points( I will use C&L for plain track). (a) Copperclad with half chairs( using vero pin to raise rail) (b) Brook-Smith, again with half chairs on ply (c) all plastic construction( how do we handle the lack of flange chairs etc) (d) ply and plastic chairs, again we have a lack of crossing chairs for 00-SF (e) Combinations Paticulary as copper clad is getting more and more expensive and actually looks like it will exceed the cost of ply sleepers any day now. I expect Martin has a lot of views on this ...

... topic: 2734 3D Printed Track and Turnouts posted: 9 Aug 2015 05:18 from: Andrew Barrowman Greetings fellow Templotters, As some of you already know, I've been messing about trying to print turnout bases on a 3D printer. It's fairly easy to create a 3D model of the timbers in CAD from any Templot template. It's also fairly simple to drag models of the chairs into the correct positions and orientation and combine them to produce an STL file to drive a printer. What is not so easy is producing 3D models for chairs that a) actually work, and b) don't look too horrible! I think I have reached a point where I'm limited by the printing technology itself. The results are actually a lot better than I thought they might be when I started out. Anyway, I've been making some wild guesses about chair dimensions, and I have not had a lot of luck finding anything on the Web. Any information would be greatly appreciated. (Here's a bit of track I've been using to test the latest chair ...
... slight curve, and also the turnout worked best as a B-6.75. I have bought jigs from scalefour, but they only do the whole numbers. I am hoping I can file a size 7 and then file it to fit. It's not that I am really concerned about- no doubt I will be when I make it! The questions I'd most like help with are these: 1. Is the pcb/plywood construction combo in any way sensible? I've arrived at it because with plywood I can use proper chairs but with pcb under the vee I can fix this solidly (also I can't work out what chairs I would use to hold the vee). I realise that this might give me height problems on the un-chaired pcb, so the plywood sleepers are1.5mm thick and the pcb 1.6 2. What chairs do I need to fix the check rails in place? I have already bought slide and normal Midland 4-blot chairs from c+ l, but am confused about how to fix the all important check rails. ...
... topic: 3733 Slide chairs on moveable diamond posted: 8 Aug 2020 16:08 from: ikcdab So i am to make a movesble diamond.See picture. The two vees are 1 in 8.75 and 1 in 12.02. On the 1 in 8.75 side, I can only get 5 standard slide chairs in before they "run out". Is that OK for the switch blade to be flexible enough? If not, how do I do it? Thanks! 1588_081058_140000000.jpg posted: 8 Aug 2020 19:12 from: wcampbell23 Hi- you don't state which scale, gauge, rail type and make of chairs you are working with- that would be a help with advice. Not every manufacturer's slide chairs are the same size- some have a deeper slide area. The simple work-around is to use two slide chairs where a deeper slide area is needed. Trim the chair against the rail as far out from the rail as possible but just before the moulded bolt heads. Cut the rail end from another slide chair and butt join the remaining ...
... topic: 3257 Slide chair to stock rail bonding posted: 17 Apr 2018 21:47 from: Rob Manchester Hi, Do people on here just use standard superglue to bond slide chairs to the stockrail? I notice a post advocating Loctite 435 adhesive for this but is this over the top? I use cheap cyano/superglue for many modelling tasks but just buy the discount shop type where you get 10 little tubes for a pound. Everytime I buy a better brand it gets used a couple of times and has gone 'off' when I next want it. Tried storing in fridge/putting clingfilm over lid etc but doesn't help with me. Don't want to go to expense of Loctite 435 if that is going to happen. Thanks for any suggestions. Rob posted: 17 Apr 2018 22:40 from: Ian Allen Rob, To be honest, I've just used Butanone to make a bond between the rail and chair and that always seems to suffice.

The turnouts are based on a tracing of a Caledonian drawing which I got from a member of the Caledonian Railway Association.25_061004_300000000.jp g The radii are quite tight for S scale so the crossing angles are quite acute being 1:12 and 1:16.

I've just sent of a query on this to the Peco T.A.B. Regards, Rodney Hills Hello Rodney, No, they don't and I am not sure they will aim to do so. They don't have any suitable chairs available as far as I know. The Individulay 'range' is a bit odd in 4mm scale with just a focus on flat bottom rail and associated items that match together. In 7mm either FB or BH Individulay offers all you need to make plain track or turnouts( assuming you are happy to chop and bodge the crossing/wing rail chairs). I think the 7mm range was introduced to allow users of the Peco RTR turnouts more option in track design but I am unsure if the chair designs are the same? ...

... of the switch blades stretcher tie bar. As to the timbers A, B, C, D, X, Y& Z these can be twisted too a small degree, but am not sure how much forward or backward movement can be tolerated, if any. The same applies to timbers X, Y& Z. Hope someone can enlighten me. All the best, Brian Nicholls. posted: 29 Aug 2011 20:50 from: Phil O Hi Brian Each timber needs to support the full base of all the chairs that sit on it, ideally as close to the centre as possible and there should be sufficient space between timbers a good 12" or more( Pt. Way operatives like at the very least enough room to get their shovel or these days a Kango with packing bit in, less than this leads to extremely bad language) between the timbers to allow them to be packed. In some cases this may be achieved by using a 14" wide timber in place of the usual 12" timber used under S& C ...
... topic: 2888 C&L Chairs on wooden sleepers posted: 18 Jun 2016 15:32 from: LSWRArt Many years ago I was with a S4 group in Cambridge and we built some track with chairs glued to wooden sleepers. It all looked great until the night before our first show when we decided to slop on some paint and thinners gunk to stain the sleepers. ALL the glue melted and we had a panicked hour trying to simultaneously re-gauge all the track and hold it in position while the gunk dried. So this time in 0 gauge I have been building track with C&L plastic chairs on wooden sleepers. To avoid the risk of the same problem I thought I would do it the other way round. I found some almost black wood dye and put a few coats on the sleepers and then glued the chairs down. It was fine for a few months then chairs started coming loose.At first I thought it was the glue not sticking to the plastic so I tried various different glues, none of which worked reliably, ...
... topic: 2268 Masokits Etched Brass Chairs posted: 23 Jul 2013 23:40 from: Charles Orr Hi I've been researching the use of these fold up brass chairs and found a lot of information here on the Templot site as well as RMWeb. There appear to be articles in two issues of MRJ (119 and 162) that explain how they are used as well as providing designs for jigs for folding them. I am a current subscriber to MRJ but did not start until issue 169. I wonder if there is some kind soul out there who could supply me with photocopies or scans of these articles. I would of course be happy to reimburse any costs involved. Best regards Charles posted: 24 Jul 2013 09:39 from: R C Lake The articles show a slightly quirky way of doing things- unnecessarily complicated in my opinion. I found the Masokits instructions far more useful, to be honest. The system is very good, even though the chairs are not quite as 3 dimensional as cast or moulded chairs. The finished product ...
... on the forum, the layout is not too bad??? (Or perhaps you were all too polite to pull it to pieces?) Unless I get any comments and need to make any changes, I now need to start buying the bits to make my first turnout. I shall start with a simple turnout on a curve. But despite reading various postings I am still not sure exactly what I need to buy and how to use some components:- C&L recommend that I use cut-down slide chairs under the crossing nose and where the wing-rails meet. But where do you stop using conventional chairs to support the switch blade and start using slide chairs? In his tutorial, Richard Lambert mentions 6 slide chairs, but does it depend on the size of turnout that you are building?- I was thinking of using Off-the-Rails check rail chairs (GOG finescale with 1.75mm gap), but these are 4 bolt. LSWR used 3 bolt chairs for plain track, but does anyone know if the ...

Their website seems to be lacking in info on this particular product! Are these a new tool chair that replaces the very old sprue of about 40 plain chairs and 5 slide chairs? I'm hoping it is, and that the plain chairs match those on the point chair sprue sold as TPP1. I have some of the older chairs, bought a long time ago, and frankly that tool had obviously long worn out! A picture of the plain chair sprue would be very useful!
