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 Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.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 thought you might like to see a couple of 5 ways I am currently building, basically stretcher bars and general cleaning up left to do. I know there are some minor adjustments left to do. I found it was relatively easy to test as it is close to scaleseven but fractionally wider with slightly increased flangeways, so very similar to gauge-widened S7. Of course the difference in scale makes it 5ft 3ins full size.

The rail is C&L code 125 with Exactoscale chairs. The timbering is 6mm x 3mm obeche.

Bit of a rush today I'm afraid, I'll try and do some better pics perhaps tomorrow.
