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 Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.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.

    REA Bullhead track drawings

    These "Standard Railway Equipment" (SRE) bullhead track component designs were used by the LMS, LNER, SR, and LPTB after the grouping in 1923, making components interchangeable between those companies: https://www.lmssociety.org.uk/assets/pdfs/permanentWay1928.pdf It's important to note that...

    Help with tie-bars / stretchers

    Does anyone have a good picture of whatever the linkage might be for the switch blades? At the moment I have been building a small sliding sleeper style of thing, but I imagine even if I were to cut a thin PCB board tie bar, and then add a piece of some cosmetic thing on top of that to make it...
