... the rail made into the base. I also make sure the webs between the sleepers is narrower than the rails to ensure they will be invisible once ballasted. This stage takes between 10mins and an hour or so depending on the size of the formation. I usually have to check the plan hasn't got any overlapping sleepers etc. 1509_251504_110000000.jpg I then split the formation up into track panels to fit my wood and ensuring the grain is running vertically with the sleepers as much as possible. 1509_251505_330000000.png A track panel fresh off the laser. 1509_251509_560000000.jpg The formation with panels removed. Ideally laid over the templot print to help with the positioning of the track etc. Expert track builders tell me they can pick it up from here and know how to lay the track without the need of the print out. Each to their own. 1509_251507_180000000.jpg I plan to supply chairs with moulded in positioning pins that will fit in to lasercut holes correctly added to the sleepers. This will reduce significantly the need for track gauges. I hope you like. Attachment: attach_3103_3709_Templot_DXF.jpeg 81 Last edited ...
