... chairs with the filler pieces in the gap to represent the block. So I'd need 6 slide chairs then 4 block chairs and then 2 narrow chairs for a B5.25 629_211035_120000000.jpg posted: 21 Mar 2018 15:58 from: Hayfield Good luck as I found the design and etching an absolute stunning bit of engineering, but a real headache in building, Each to their own and if not under any time pressures something to enjoy picking up and doing a bit at a time, as could be very therapeutic to wind down from a hectic days work posted: 21 Mar 2018 15:59 from: Martin Wynne davelong wrote:... for a B5.25 Hi Dave, Are you sure about the B-5.25? It's a very unusual turnout size. B-switches are not normally used for turnouts shorter than 1:6. Martin. posted: 21 Mar 2018 16:54 from: davelong Martin. I perhaps should look at my Templot at little more often. I have designed A switches, so that'll be 5 slide chairs. posted: ...
... on its wheels! Now thats one upmanship! Not sure I'd recognise either of you if we met in the street though...? I managed to do an hour or so's stuff in the shed today and started by replacing the solid soldered connections at each end with loose-ish fishplate connections (that will allow the rail to slide in the fishplate) and began to prepare the route that the wire would take for the power supply to up and down main lines under the station. Going to be a long and hectic day tomorrow as I hope the next two or three weeks of days will be if Christmas trade goes according to plan? So an early night is called for I think. Kind regards Andrew Edit:And here's a poor photo of one end modification 2787_061736_440000000.jpg So poor in fact that on my iPad I can't really see that there are now fishplates keeping the rail in alignment, but they are now there, I assure you Andrew Last edited on 6 Dec 2020 22:45 by Andrew Duncan posted: 7 Dec 2020 15 ...
... be 12" wide crossing timbers rather than 10" timbering. I have attached what I think is a more likely scenario, although there are undoubtedly other solutions. Regards Tony.

Yes, I'll look at widening the spacings (I've moved the outer siding on the right out a bit already, though more is needed, but too late to do more now). I've made some changes since my earlier posting, having researched the location, it seems more than usual long timbers were used to support the crossings, possibly this is due to the 3rd rail to give more support where it has to switch ...
... or whether I still have a long way to go to get the best out of it. Have you tried anything in 7mm scale for comparison? I shall be interested to see what Stephen comes up with when he gets his printer going. cheers, Martin. Hi Martin, I have not tried to print 7mm chairs but based on my efforts I would say you are approaching the limits. Further adjustments might be more to do with optimizing the process for strength, speed, time etc. When things are a bit less hectic here I'll take a shot at some 7mm chairs for comparison, but that will not happen for a couple of weeks. It probably doesn't make much sense at 00/H0 scales, but at larger scales you could just print 2.5D turnout templates. The chairs would be 3D but the timbers would be very thin, almost like paper. The templates would be glued on to plywood timbers. It's a bit like putting timbers on a template only the other way round. The advantage is that all the correct chairs would fall ...
