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 Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.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

I see MRJ, in the form of Iain Rice writing in issue 283, has discovered electronical wizardry!! The article is about how to build bad track, as opposed to how to build track badly which I'm sure we're all capable of doing!

"...rolling up your digital sleeves and having a go at Templot, Martin Wynne's fiendishly clever template-drawing software which, once you've mastered the moves (it's a bit like PW chess) enables you to draw almost any track formation."

Personally, I would have omitted the word "almost" :)
