Dear all, As promised, here is another video (8 mins): https://flashbackconnect.com/Movie.aspx?id=JrDooGwKljg4sx19Gh6lSw2 Screenshot from video: 2_020644_040000000.png  "Generic" means I made it up as I went along  -- you will need to change the dimensions to match your prototype.Please refer to these notes while watching: Scale: 7mm/ft. Gauge: 14mm. Flangeway gap: 1.0mm (as EM) Flangeway end gap: 2.0mm Adjacent track centres spacing: 9ft (63mm). Sleeper length: 4ft (but 4ft-6in may have been better). Sleeper width (plain track): 9" Timber width (turnouts): 9" Timber spacings: 36" Rail top: 2" wide. Other rail section dimensions: ignored. edit for Templot2: If the rail section data is entered, for flat-bottom rail Templot can now print the rail-foot edge lines on the templates -- real > rails > head and foot menu option. Custom switch: 7ft switch to 4" heel spread (i.e. 84" switch lead = 1:21 deflection). Switch rail and stock rail lengths: set to zero (i.e. the joint marks are omitted). Switch timber spacings: fixed generic. V-crossing: 1:6 curviform. Wing rail fronts span: 1 timber (all sizes). Vee rails span: 3 timbers (all sizes). Check rail working lengths: 48" (all sizes). edit: There is an error in the check rail settings. The flare lengths need shortening to properly check the crossing. regards, Martin. |
