1. Exactoscale switch and crossing chairs

... something like a "C" chair for a 1:6 vee. Just a tiny error in placing the timber means that the chair will not be central to the timber. (solution- leave yourself some room to tweak it at build). Also, I did notice on a 1: 8 slip (not yet built) that the chairs seem to be designed for a different timbering layout than Templot assumes- there is one extra timber between the Obtuse and common crossing noses. Will include some more shots later. 1129_100905_120000000.jpg Also, Shot of a 1:6 commom crossing 1129_100919_020000000.jpg Best Regards, Howard posted: 10 Dec 2009 15:04 from: Stephen Freeman At last!!! posted: 10 Dec 2009 16:39 from: richard_t Where's the scale 7 versions!! posted: 21 Feb 2010 17:33 from: richard_t richard_t wrote: Where's the scale 7 versions!!

2. Making slips using C&L components

... acurately mark the rails for length then cut them using a piercing saw although I only cut entirely through the rails where electrical gaps are needed using the Exactoscale insulating fishplates as you can see in the pic. Using this approach I have never needed jigs for crossings- most of mine have been to odd angles or been curved in anycase- but do make a simple wooden clamp to hold the rails for filing. (as per the very original Protofour method- available via the Scalefour Soc website) Best regards, Howard. 1129_050750_130000000.jpg 1129_100905_120000000.jpg posted: 5 Dec 2010 13:28 from: roythebus Thanks, that's more or less what I thought. I didn't think about using scrap brass fret, I've lost track of how much of that I've chucked out recently! posted: 5 Dec 2010 14:10 from: JFS... couple more pics of the same job. 1129_050831_500000000.jpg By the way, this pic was taken BEFORE the crossing was positioned and fixed down- you will of course be more careful to get the base strips more acurately positioned! ...
