I've templotted an f/b adjustment (nee) expansion switch, but on looking back at the plan they aren't very clear - as it's just 4 differently spaced 12" sleepers. Is there a way, cunning or otherwise, that I can simulate the two strengthing rail strips so they stand out a bit more. (one form of the straps are two lengths of bullhead rail on their side spaced 457mm from the inside of the foot of the rail and are 2286mm long). No doubt the metric dimensions are standard imperial, but I don't have time to do the conversion! Thanks Richard. |

Overlay a narrow-gauge rails-only template. Set the rail head width to 5.7" (5.23/32") to represent 95R bullhead rail on its side. 2. Add a couple of bonus timbers. Shove them around until they are the required size and position to represent the straps. Method 2 has the advantage that it's a single template, so easy to copy and move, etc. regards, Martin. |

Thanks again Martin - I was rushing out to pick the other half up from work. Number 2 was the method I went for as I need 3 of them, so easier to copy about. It's only a reminder when I come to look at this again. As ever, many thanks. |
