... 2017 21:39 from: Andrew Duncan Hello everyone At the end of the month I'm treating myself to a Missenden Abbey summer retreat so hope to be reporting some decent progress on my return, fingers crossed! Kind regards Andrew posted: 10 Aug 2017 22:07 from: Andrew Duncan Hello Everyone Well I'm back from a great week at Missenden Abbey. Did I achieve my aim of making some significant progress? Well yes I did although I must admit it doesn't look that impressive, but on the other hand building point ... you'll only see the sleeper tops. It also depends on what sort of lighting you intend to use, if any. For rail I tend to use something distinctly lighter, a lightish greyish brown. A lot of layouts these days seem to use a sort of pink, which looks horrible. Rail sides and chairs quickly weather to a greyish hue, rather than bright rust.

The lack of a Peco bullhead-double slip has made me realise however, that if I'm going to hand lay that too- then the whole area indicated by the pink line above can be laid almost however is required. The only restriction, is that on the adjacent baseboard there is an expectation that the track will flow nicely into the platform roads.

... Based on your information it looks as if I'm not too far off. BTW, in case you had not already guessed, my ulterior motive for posting here was the possibility that someone might take this to the next level. It's beyond my capability, but I'm pretty sure someone "skilled in the art" could cook up a program that automatically combines models derived from Templot with models of the appropriate chairs to produce a stereo lithography file that can be fed to a 3D printer.

During that time we have encountered a number of limitations of printer capability. The relevant issue with printing sleeper and chair as a component, is that the home DIY printers deposit plastic onto a plate, on ours it is heated glass. This deposition process means that any overhangs are unsupported. Test prints of arch-like components all show a ...

... 22:55 from: TonyHagon Ah Martin... Sketchboard: a superb addition to an already great program! Looking forward to the PUG. You have probably realised that there is a whole new opportunity to create signal box diagrams, and to create a library of e.g. typefaces that the individual companies applied to the diagrams. The scaling facilities in Templot make it a doddle to size the diagram to fit the control panel.

... the weaker inner jaw is evident. It can't be beefed up much because of the need to clear wheel flanges. I assumed a fishing angle of 1:1.5 for the SMP rail, that's just a guess, but I doubt it matches the prototype 1:2.75 fishing angle. I suspect other model rail will be similarly compromised. What all this means is that I think I'm ready to create a test file.

I would encourage you to keep this near the top of the list preferably with transitions into the curves. This means that there are several things preceding this one but getting something running is usually a key objective for most of us.
