... are 8 sleepers/rail length with the chairs on either side of the fishplates apparently touching them. Somewhat oddly there does not appear to be much/any ballast between these pairs of sleepers and their ends are generally exposed, unlike intermediate sleepers. It is a 3/4 view of a train and I would not like to hazard a guess as to the length of the sleepers. Opposite page 1 there is a picture of Neasden Works with some wagons being shunted over what looks like old track. I don't know if ... was me thinking it was Brunel's influence... It is a strange dimension, and one I'm very close to dismissing as having been given, transcribed or printed in error. Tratman (ASCE Transactions 388 vol. xviii, June 1888), mentions the usual 8' 11" and 9' lengths, as well as an 8' 6", but no 10' lengths. However, Tratman's work encompassed only a small percentage of the Railway Companies of the period, and the Metropolitan was not one of them. ...

204. Track construction
... topic: 2247 Track construction posted: 3 Jul 2013 07:17 from: SimonH Hello All I'm looking but perhaps not seeing amongst all the posts an answer to a couple of questions if I may. I model Tasmanian OO 14mm (3'6") and in the past have used copper clad sleepers but now want to go to timber sleepers, 1.6mm ply I think. Tassie railways were base plate and 3 dog spikes, but I can't find any manufacturers of such a thing. C&L do a base plate ... loose but is easily refixed. Only a very light soaking in water is necessary to release the completed track. Beware the cheap Pritt lookalike products, most of them have a very poor grip indeed. Geoff posted: 3 Jul 2013 21:37 from: Tony W Hi Simon. Another approach which I have used for many years is to use double sided sellotape about 6mm wide to hold the sleepers to the Template. One strip down the centre is sufficient. This can be gently peeled away from the completed track after construction ...

... grain as moisture evaporates. The drier the environment the wood is kept in the more the likely shrinkage. Plywood is made from alternate layers of wood bonded together with the grain of the outer layers always being in the same direction. 0.8mm ply sleepers are made with 3 layers in total so assuming you have the sleepers/timbers cut lengthwise with the grain there won't be an issue. I use 0.4mm ply as well for goods yards and such like as it doesn't take as much cinder ballast to build up the groundwork. As ... when trying to thread them onto the rail.

... . The "1 /2 point of frog" is called the blunt nose. It is the width of the tip of the vee. In the UK it is not 1/2".
