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 Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.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

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...

Chair base is 1/4" thick at edge.
Seat for rail is 1.3/4" thick.

The ferrule provides a precise location on the timber without needing a close tolerance hole in the chair...
This is the new S1 3 bolt sprue, which comprises or 10 standard chairs, 2 L1 (bridge) and 2 J Joint) chairs 1 standard and 1 reinforced functional fishplates
These 2 shots are close ups of the chairs, 4 bolt L1 bridge chair, centre is the joint chair, then a standard chair
These shots are...
