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 Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.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

    Bullhead rail section BS-95R

    Dimensions of the BS-95R bullhead rail section. This is by far the most common size of bullhead rail in the UK, weighing 95lbs per yard. In 4mm/ft scale this is Code 75 bullhead rail. In 7mm/ft scale this is Code 131 bullhead rail.

    C&L code 131 bullhead rail for 0 Gauge

    We have previously discussed the anomaly in the size of the commonly used 0 gauge bullhead rail: https://85a.co.uk/forum/view_topic.php?id=3307&forum_id=1&jump_to=26449#p26449 It has now been confirmed that the new bullhead rail from C&L is correctly code 131 again, and from cross-section...

    New track components from DCC Concepts

    DCC Concepts have just announced some new track components: Etched 00 sleepers. Cast brass bridge chairs. See: https://mailchi.mp/dccconcepts/legacy_track_1-5126186 Why they are building plain track with bridge chairs is a bit of mystery. When bridge chairs are used on plain track it is...
