... consider. I straightened out the road across the diamond, which looks a bit more prototypical. On the other hand you lose the effect of stock snaking through a reverse curve.

... topic: 2077 Baseboard Material posted: 10 Oct 2012 12:46 from: Richard_Jones Hi, Does anyone have any experience or views on using plywood for baseboard construction. I recently asked a joiner (who also makes baseboards) what plywood they use and was advised 9mm WBC from the builders merchants. I had a look at what my local builders merchants have to offer and I'm still fairly bewildered as in 9mm they offer: BC/CC FE plywood WBP@ £25.08 H/W faced popular core WBP@ £ ... as it can take screws directly into it's edge- and it's free!

... Printing a curved one is really quite straightforward: 1. Start with a suitable size for the first turnout. Use the F5 mouse action to set the size. Curved turnouts usually need to be longer than straight ones to keep the radius within bounds. C-10 is a good size to try. 2. Set the required radius in the running line, using the F6 mouse action. See this starter video showing F5 and F6 mouse actions being used to print a curved C-10 turnout: http:// ... positive feedback, so I transferred my attention to the videos, which have been generally better received.

... inner curve is now around 1245mm (49") all through. File attached below. Sorry, you have lost me on the 102" radius curve. I'm not aware of changing it from anything else. The regulations require a continuous check rail on curves below 10 chains radius (104" in 4mm/ft) on running lines, but there is no such requirement for yards and sidings. It would depend on the frequency of derailments. I can't see any continuous check rails in the photo.
