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 Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.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

When I was a Boy Scout (a couple of years ago) I could tell the difference when looking at an OS map. I'd need to brush-up a bit now.

Written by a non railway person. Embankments and cuttings, over-bridges and under-bridges, it all
relates to the per-way. Doing research I come across reports for the NSWGR that have been written
by people who seem to have had very little understanding of what a train is.

Hi Matt,

But the RAIB is a respected railway body:

https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/rail-accident-investigation-branch

Their reports are important industry documents. Presumably they have proof readers and someone senior to sign off the reports?

On the other hand, there are a lot of dimwits about these days -- found in my fridge:

I was reading a draft of revision to state rules about waterways yesterday. It doesn't seem to be able to decide whether to use " navigable" or "navigational" :)

Context is everything. Cuttings and embankments are recognised formations. However in referring to detail an embankment can be the side of a cutting. What else do you call it, except maybe a bank?
