Progress with EM at Honley Tank
We have the baseboards but what about track?
The first pic shows my original track plan in sketch form but I wanted this layout 'Templotted'. My good friend and fellow Manchester MRS member Les Fram is far more Templot literate than I, and kindly offered to convert my sketch and " nothing tighter than 4' radius or B6 turn-outs" to a scale drawing. Thanks Les, a great job with the final result, albeit in sketch form is at pic2.
I have been building track since about 1964 in TT then in OO, followed by P4 and then S4 so the fact that my first EM track making was to produce a B6 turn-out running into a double slip was not quite so daunting as it may sound. Picture 3 shows this under construction; the template on which this was built was a photo-copy taken from that part of the scale Templot drawing.
The P4 template in that pic was there to help me with gaps and electrical circuits and the other back-ground sheet is about the best order in which to assemble a slip.
This computing lark, especially this program, is some what taxing of my abilities and I'm off now to rest the little grey cells. More in a day or so.
