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 Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.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

A change of year means OS maps from 1971 are now out of copyright and National Library of Scotland (NLS) have just announced that another 1,481 detailed 50"/mile and 25"/mile maps covering areas in Scotland are now on their web site.

There's more:

Ordnance Survey 1:500 Town Plans of England and Wales (1840s-1890s)

"We have added 10,519 sheets online showing Victorian town plans of England and Wales (1840s-1890s). Over 380 towns (all those with more than 4,000 people) were mapped at a scale of 1:500 - the most detailed maps that Ordnance Survey ever surveyed of these towns."

That's a bit early for most modellers, but it's an amazing resource. All georeferenced for cross-fading to modern maps/aerial.

Here is the north end of Worcester Shrub Hill (GWR):

https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=20&lat=52.19613&lon=-2.21017&layers=117746211&b=7

And this is a bit of the Midland Railway at Cheltenham Lansdown:

https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=20&lat=51.89646&lon=-2.10066&layers=117746211&b=4

These maps can be captured and scaled in Templot as screenshot maps, I will add the tiled maps option soon.

To see the level of detail on some of these maps, see Leeds Town Hall:

https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=20&lat=53.80017&lon=-1.54972&layers=117746212&b=4

cheers,

Martin.
