Many thanks for posting the pics and progress reports. I hope that was in jest about butanone? It's nasty stuff and I find the pong too awful to work with.

2. The next steps once I have the laser cut timber sleepers

... the only way to go would be to do a couple of small tests to see. I imagine that the grain (or lack thereof) on the plywood would also be a contibuting factor as to how well the chairs stick. My stuff I use is bright red though. Would that lose most of its colour once diluted? What ratio for dilution of it with MEK should be done? All very science experiment like. Definitely a job for outside too from memory last time I used the stuff it gave off a real pong! I have emailed you the box file Martin so if you can create A2 size pdf file that would be excellent as I have access to an internal printing firm where I work (gotta love an oil company hey!). I notice all of the chair designations along the side of the trackplan so that should put things right then. Thanks all, Paul. posted: 7 Apr 2009 10:27 from: Andy G Paul, I'll put my hand up as another who just uses butanone to fix Exactoscale chairs ...

3. A user gives up

... complain. How many of these people use the full capabilities of computers they own nowadays? Very few I believe, but I bet they don't stop using their computers totally. They will continue use at a level they can manage a and find it perfectly acceptable. Most of us have learned to do many things with computers now taken for granted. If development of software had stayed at the dumb-ed down level some seem to believe is acceptable things would not have progressed from the command line and we would still be playing pong on the latest and greatest machines. People have short memories when it comes to technology. Word processors, email, internet, sound editing, photo editing, digital media, etc etc is all considered child's play and normal in today's world. If people can't hack it when it comes to using something new or different in software it is surely their problem if they lack the motivation or intelligence to learn. My opinion may seem harsh but I believe it is the reality of life that some are more capable than others and ...

4. New track construction methods

... crossing vee in al all chair method,( I notice several people solder metal bridges to over come this) posted: 26 May 2015 19:03 from: Martin Wynne madscientist wrote: I expect Martin has a lot of views on this Not really. I'm not fully up to date with the current supply position. John (Hayfield) on RMweb seems best placed to advise. For myself I much prefer all-soldered construction. Partly for the instant set and ease of adjustment, but also because I can't stand the pong of butanone. I think Joe Brook-Smith's original riveted ply system still has a lot to be said for it. The Scalefour Society have just upgraded their supplies to precision laser-cut plywood instead of sheared strip. The great advantage of riveted ply is that you can get the track built, laid, tested, wired up and running, and only later add the cosmetic half-chairs at your leisure. If the rivet positioning is done carefully, the end result looks just the same as using glued chairs on ...
