TEMPLOT 3D PLUG TRACK - To get up to speed with this experimental project click here.   To watch an introductory video click here.   See the User Guide at Bexhill West.

  • The Plug Track functions are experimental and still being developed. Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.

    For an updated overview of this project see this topic.   For some practical modelling aspects of using Plug Track see Building 3D Track.

    The assumption is that you have your own machines on which to experiment, or helpful friends with machines. Please do not send Templot files to commercial laser cutting or 3D printing firms while this project is still experimental, because the results are unpredictable and possibly wasteful.

    Some pages of this and other topics include contributions from members who are creating and posting their own CAD designs for 3D printing and laser-cutting. Do not confuse them with Templot's own exported CAD files. All files derived from Templot are © Martin Wynne.

Just off the map to the west is the Woofferton transmitter station:

The Woofferton radio transmitters date from the 1940s. It's the last shortwave transmitter station in the UK, transmitting BBC World Service to Eastern Europe, and also some local radio stations. At one time it was the main European transmitter for Voice Of America. If you ever listened to that, and knew the quiet rural location, it was amusing to hear the call-sign "This is the Voice Of America, from Woofferton".

Here is a message broadcast today from Woofferton:

cheers,

Martin.
