Hi Stuart,

Make sure you have set your gauge/scale,

then:

You will need to change all the dimensions initially showing -- they are exact scale equivalents for BS-95R bullhead rail.

cheers,

Martin.

Hi Martin

Many thanks

(Whoops, I am a tad embarressed as I did not even think to look at the settings page.)

Hi @Steve_Cornford & @Martin Wynne

I've been working locally with Stuart on printing over the past few months leading up to his posts above. After your advice, changing rail measurements and a little patience we finally managed to get some S1 and a 1:6 crossing set printed. A slight cant as with the OP's comments but a massive step in the right direction for us after a lot of confused and frustrated modelling sessions.
Next steps will be following this thread to adjust the cant and finally get a full turnout set printed

Cheers,
James

Hi James & Stuart,
Once you have got the rail settings dialled in, use the [ save custom data ... ] button on export DXF /STL file... custom tab.

Then when you next invoke Templot you can restore your settings using the [ load custom data ... ] button.

Also it would be useful if you can perform a screen print of your working rail settings (display the detail & press <alt+prt scr> & post here ( <ctrl v>) for others to use, or for us to add into the rail options.
