... the Peco track pins on the tiebar for the three way turnout. The Peco pin had a head which would have held it in place, the wire didn't seem to have anything which would serve the same purpose. Also I have been searching high and low for 3 point gauges suitable for Peco code 80 track, would yours suit and if so where did you get them? I am using Peco code 80 track because I have boxes of it accumulated from various sources over many years, actually enough to do my whole anticipated ... .

Refer to the elapsed playback time showing at the bottom right below the picture to follow these notes below. To keep the file size sensible I made some preliminary example template settings in the usual way: The 1st base turnout is a B-8 LH on 3000mm radius. The 2nd turnout is an A-7 RH, blanked up to the switch toe. Both turnouts have square-on timbering with in-line ends. Some timbering has been omitted (shove timbers) to keep things less cluttered ...
... found my way around, which seems to have worked! Ive got some idea this way of what the end result should be- a comparison if you like. A couple of questions though: a) at the top right of the plan there will be a 3-way point. I've overlaid two B7 points and tweaked the curvature. Am i going the right way to create a 3-way or have I miss understood it totally?

... said small branch line termini were simple? I've tried to follow the video and repeatedly got stuck, no doubt through trying to run before I can do the Templot walk! The photo (which has been 'flipped' horizontally to match the track plan) shows the 3-way as being symmetrical but an asymmetric 3-way with the left-hand leading gives me more room to fit in the coal road (not to mention being easier to build!). I'm working on B7 crossings on both turnouts which give's me ... being 'tripped to the mills offstage!

Goods traffic was heavy given the number of mills (both wool and paper) in the area with all trains running on ticket and staff. That gives me another justification for the layout.

... 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. Do they sell the required chairs? 3. Is it not necessary to cut through and isolate the wing rails and give them the same polarity as the vee to avoid shorting? Or can you just allow the contact at the switch to provide current to the appropriate wing rail?

... topic: 2515 Wheelset sideways slop between rails posted: 20 Aug 2014 10:45 from: Brian McK Greetings all, I'm modelling New Zealand's 3' 6" gauge system circa 1920s to 1:48 scale. While I can produce my own wheels and trackwork scaled exactly true from the prototype, do recognise that a very slight increase of the 1-3 /4 inch wide turnout flangeways with a commensurate adjustment to wheelset B to B may be a more realistic goal for construction and operational reliability. However, my ... track standards from the 1890's to 1970's. But the amount of information and how to use it correctly is daunting. Between the 1890's and 1932 they already had 5 different methods of constructing the crossing in a lead formation. 2 different methods of attaching wing rails and 8 different styles of plate type. On your problem re clearances between rail and wheel I know of a friend of a friend who has for years done his own thing as a version of P87. He copies prototype and has no problems. Indeed his layout operates ...

... end of the platform road not curving so much; you could even have the release end straight, or have no curve at all. You might have to shorten the run-round loop a tad to avoid lengthening the layout, but would this matter? (3) You could also increase it by having the end of the coal siding straight.

It all appeared to work quite well, except that I found the top area of my ... into Autocad I don't know AutoCad, but I imagine it can import metafiles. You may get a better result by exporting in EMF metafile format rather than PNG. This allows zooming in the CAD program without the image breaking up, in a similar way to the DXF export. But unlike DXF, the EMF format can include your scanned picture shapes, diagram-mode tracks, output colours and line thicknesses, etc. regards, Martin. posted: 3 Jul 2011 15:39 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, Many ...

... width of the background slightly less than the required track centres. For example, the minimum spacing for 6ft way is 11ft-2in centres, or 134 inches (44.67mm). So if you set a track background at 131 inches wide, there should be a 3 inch gap between track backgrounds, or a 1mm gap in 4mm/ft scale. Setting a bright page colour (e.g. red) makes this gap easily visible. Zoom and pan all over the track plan to see it: 2_251100_390000001.png I added some dummy ... track plan.
