81. glueing track
... ask about Adavoyle, as I have always admired it for many reasons- not least the track!. one thing is clear from reading this- good results come from lots of careful thought and attention to detail. It is a good job it is only a small branch, rather than a "Main Line" layout. [It can't be a Main Line layout- I read somewhere that no one has ever built one in P4. Ha Ha!] Best Wishes, Howard. posted: 28 Dec 2011 19:05 from: Ian Allen How about New Street by Jim Smith-Wright, or Wadhurst? Ian posted: 28 Dec 2011 23:10 from: Tony W Hi Howard, interesting indeed. Quite a bit of ground has been covered since my previous post. On the subject of PVA glues the washable type I have is called BLUE LABEL washable PVA adhesive whereas the person who recomended it to me had Red label. It is sold under the name brianclegg that is how it appears on the bottle and they have a website ...

... messages? at the application level rather then default windows handlers? The default window handlers,( from memory) would handle resizing standard windows controls, but any user defined drawing area would have to be resized/redrawn by the application The Same issue occurs in Windows, where you dynamically resize the screen, say when you plug in a projector etc( Im thinking back to my windows application days, so bear with me !)

... design but I am unsure if the chair designs are the same? Back to 4mm...the rail used in the Peco 75BH isn't a standard profile as the rail foot is much deeper than C&L's version to give, presumably, more strength to the chair/rail interface. If they sold this as is it wouldn't fit the C&L /Exactoscale chairs.

Hi Rob, I believe Peco have made the bullhead rail symmetrical. This leads to great cost savings as there is no need to make left and right hand versions of the components -- stock rails, switch rails, etc. Also easier on assembly ...

... . Martin, Like you I choose the dpi to match the job being done. Within the scanning program I can choose the mode (automatic, leisure or professional). In automatic mode there is no indication to the user of the dpi being used. The leisure mode is fixed at 300dpi. I always use the professional mode in which I am offered a choice of 21 dpi values between 50 and 12800. In Windows Explorer, well for the version that I have in Windows 7, if you right click on a jpg* file that has been scanned and select properties and then details the dpi of the scan is shown. In the picture editing program that I use there is an option to see the information about the picture and this includes the pixel per inch (or sometimes pixel per cm) which is the dpi.* png,& tif files don't give this info, but a gif does.

I've had to increase the largest radius to prevent the smallest from reducing too much. The length is slightly increased as the smallest turnout's crossing rail was in danger of fouling with one of the check rails. See what you think.

... metal. The re-tinning hopefully will clean the tip, which in turn will make it hotter, which will give you better solder joints Thanks- I will try that! Richard, Another method which works very well is to dip the hot iron tip into Carrs 188 solder paint when you get an almost instant tinned tip. I got a bottle of the 188 just for this from Brian Lewis some years ago and the only problem is that it has now dried up. Jim. posted: 17 Nov 2015 08:05 from: Hayfield undefined Here is a photo of my simple jig for holding the rails in a Vee shape whilst being soldered. My 25 watt iron has to be very hot as the aluminium strip acts as a heat sink The strip is easily bought from a local DIY store and its 10 x 2 mm I guess a more ingenious person could invent an adjustable one, but the chocks have to be the correct size. These jigs can be made from sleeper strip (ply or copperclad) or even thick card, for ...

... drawings and pictures before you start. One problem is that the available 3 bolt chairs are not of the correct pattern. Exactoscale make the correct chair(2 bolts on the outside) in 4mm but not 7mm (at least not yet), so it might be worthwhile contacting them to find out the likelihood or otherwise of production in 7mm scale.

... in to 9mm gauge. The Atlas switcher's wheels are turned down to FS160 standards= 2mm Association standards. But you get the impression of FB rail soldered to PCB sleepers and timbers. You can see the sawn gaps in the timbering in the pointwork and the rather generous gapping in the sleepers in the two tracks in the rear which is as supplied ready insulated. These were sleepers I got about thirty years ago for another N scale layout. The other PCB materials are 2mm Association products.

... a compile finishing. Jim. posted: 22 Feb 2018 09:13 from: Mark Barry It is amazing how verbose UI code can be. I'm not surprised you haven't revisited it in years. Its been quite some time since I looked at Pascal code- I'd forgotten the variable name: type syntax, so used to the C style of 'type' followed by variable name. You should be congratulated on the easy to understand names too. Looking forward to the next installment. Mark posted: 22 Feb 2018 13:05 from: Jim Guthrie I dragged out an old PC and managed to dig out the project files for my Delphi app. Unfortunately, I couldn't compile it since I had used a component called Hyperstring to do some of the string parsing in the app and I can't find it, so I couldn't compile the project to see how many lines there were.

... topic: 2398 Printing The Background Tracks posted: 5 Feb 2014 11:05 from: Clive Essery Hello guys, this is my first post on this forum. I decided to try and produce my plan on my own without bothering you guys with stupid beginners questions but have now hit an impasse. My background is that I am retired after 40 years of software development, which of course includes some CAD work. I thought I would eventually manage to produce something. Well I have succeeded in that area but I see that I am going to get a rollicking like Andrew- having built my track plan on an existing (but modified) map without practicing all of the features first. I guess I used only the basics of Templot and because I landed up doing a lot of rework, I have probably not done it the most efficient way. I couldn't for example get the move group to work properly so landed up moving my goods yard a template at a time many times as I moved it around the design. The issue that I ...
