... /sleeper/functional plastic chairs combination a try. I like the strength of the soldered rivets but I can recall the time it took to prepare the sleepers and then all the time to fix the whitemetal cosmetic chairs, so the combined approach looks very promising time wise. Once again thanks for your input Derek posted: 12 Mar 2010 00:52 from: allanferguson One thing that occurred to me later is that, using the normal gauges, there are locations where they don't fit. I've found it useful to set a calliper gauge to the track gauge, and use this to check the gauge at complex locations. Functional chairs can make it difficult to get the usual sort of gauge to "sit" properly.

... 42 from: Hayfield TPP wrote: I had considered the Peco 143 as that shouldn't be too hard to get hold of both now and in the future. The one concern I did have( because I don't know about such things) is if there would be any problem running standard 00 rolling stock on the head width of the code 143 Can any one advise on that please? PS- I would need to get gauges made- I don't have the equipment or skills to make my own TPP You could use an electronic calliper for gauging, or a simple bar gauge could be made from a piece of brass which has been carefully filed to shape. Another method is a bit of studding or bolt, and where 2 nuts are tightened together they stay put. so a bolt and 6 nuts will make a type of roller gauge/ check rail gauge. just use an electronic calliper for fine tuning to gauge. 1mm flangeway gauge available from the EM gauge society. Where there is a will there's a way. Good luck as it sounds very ...
... . Noch book to me, but could not remember which of his books it was. I would be most grateful for a scanned copy of the plan you suggest and, it will not be used by me or anyone else in any commercial way whatsoever. Incidentally if I dare ask, I would appreciate it if you could scan at high resolution as this will help to eliminate the usual thickening of lines and any break-up of pixels if and when enlarged. Needless to say I will still have to get my vernier callipers out and scale+ redraw. But again thank you Martin, looking forward to receiving scanned file. Best regards.

... -date and in good order. They have a real preference for PDF as it has less issues with re-sizing during the transfer from computer to printing. This is one of the reasons I was happy to update to the TDV version, as the printers were not sure if they could handle dfx files. The four 500mm x 4550mm sheets I had printed today are as good as near perfect dimensionally. The first thing I checked as the first sheet came off was the gauge of the track, done with a vernier calliper. It was spot on. As were the grid divisions. The plotter option which they offered me is more accurate across a large area, but at $440 Australian dollars to print two 1000mm x 4550mm pages, it would want to be. So I think you will be fine as far as accuracy goes Alan. Regards, Matt. Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... :25 from: julia It's been a long while since I made a turnout for my layouts. This evening I started fiddling with the bits of rail and sleeper I had laying around on the desk, and before I know it, and without initially intending to, I had started building another turnout. It's an H0e (9mm) right hand #7 with 700mm radius, same as all the others I have made. However, for the first time, I built this one using gauges. Normally I use a vernier calliper to get the gauge correct. Well, I can honestly say this was a revelation. I built this turnout in under 2 hours, and it just went together. No need to fettle with it to make it run smoothly, it just worked. So far it seems to be the smoothest turnout I have made. I am really pleased with it. Weiche_03_sm.jpg This turnout will hopefully form part of a Medium sized station module I am planning. J Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also ...
... trackplan. When I compare them, the track gauge is enough different as to be unusable. Is there a way to make these match exactly, or is PDF not meant for printing of construction plans? Mark C posted: 14 Jul 2012 08:02 from: Matt M. Hi Mark. PDF is for printing construction templates. I have printed a 30' layout plan at a professional printing house using it, (in four sections due to Adobe's very annoying size limits). All measurements were checked with a vernier calliper and found to be spot on. Recently also built a 7' long test track that using the transitional curve facility gradually curves down a 6' radius. for chassis testing. Built to Scale 7 using the template it is also spot on. Hope that answers part of your query?
