Hello, after found the definitive layout plan on internet (an HO scale that I´ll build as an S scale one), I began to think in how to scale up and fit some complicated track (I love this aspect of hobby, to at first sight don´t understand what I see) on it. So the piece in question is the two 5-way turnouts (or even more if someone find a place for it on the plan atteched) 1871_212225_180000000.jpg that will be on layout. I found at chance surfing on net looking for model railroad suspension. The link in question is http://www.clag.org.uk/green14.html And the turnout was built by Tony Wilkins. My personal guess is that was used templot from what can be seen on the http://www.clag.org.uk/track-construction1.html 1871_212013_540000000.jpg In a e-mail that Tony Wilkins send to me he told that "the drawing was made by superimposing a P4 left and right hand Tandem Turnout Template onto each other and drawing in all the additional crossings by hand. The only prototype I have ever come across was built in Germany and it was not designed in quite the same way as the two outermost roads came off the two outside roads of the first Three throw point and not from the centre road as I have done it." 1871_212218_410000000.jpg Someone have made it? Any tips to draw on templot, as well as construction? Any knowlege of this german, or the french one 5 way turnout? At first will be one in flatbottom and other in bullhead. And about the chairs? What is the limit? I´m sure that is a point where phisically you can´t put more on the same space, so what would be the "closed fit together" limit for radius and 1:x proportions (I don´t use 1:5 turnouts, but not 1:12 either)? It can be going futher to 6way, 7way? |
