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 Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.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

Hi - I'm hoping someone with much better prototype knowledge the me will be able to look at the image below and help with identifying the following so my recreation is as accurate as possible:
There are 2 linkages to the toe from the rodding but I can't tell if one goes to a FPL and the other to a stretcher or if they both go to 2 different stretchers - what do you think / what would be normal?
It looks like there is a base plate on the timber with the switch toes on (you can just see it poking out and under the slide chair) - would that be correct looking at the photo (1930s / SR), have I seen that correctly?
It also looks like there are 3 extended timbers to fix the cranks to (2 longer and 1 slightly longer), have I identified that correctly or are they separate to the turnout timbers?
Thanks for any help and apologies for any mistakes with terminology.
