I'm looking for a tie template. I want to build a diamond crossing, about 50°. Are there any drawings available? Wolfgang
Wolfgang, Did you take a look at the site of Fast Tracks ? They make jigs for laying your own turnouts and crossings but on their website they also have a lot of tie templates. Kind regards, Wilbert
Wilbert, Fast Track is a very good source for templates. Thanky you. Now, I've laid the crossing. You see, it's a dummy interchange. The curved branch line has a radius of 25'' (61cm). For the safety I didn't cut the rails. Wolfgang [ February 22, 2005, 12:35 PM: Message edited by: Wolfgang Dudler ]
That looks pretty good! Amazing that you can build this so fast, even if it is a dummy. Two questions: </font> Where do you get the pcb ties? Or do you make them yourself?</font> How do you hide the blobs of solder? Paint them or something else?</font> Kind regards, Wilbert
I bought PC board sheets in electronic shops. At the beginning I cut it with my table saw. The last bundle was easier. My son hat at school a chance to cut it with a machine. When the track is painted, weathered and ballasted, it looks better: You find more at my site. Wolfgang
