Bodmin Central: Back to the Track Plan
Back to Templot and messing around with Bodmin's track plan.
Having failed completely at my first attempt at printing the track plan, I've now noticed that there is still a fair bit of work to do before its going to be ready to start sticking down on baseboards.
At the moment it looks like there are 3 main jobs to do. Firstly some of the track is not properly connected together (ie its just arranged by eye), I'd prefer to get this connected up to make sure the alignment is spot on before I go and print it. But I seem to remember having a few issues with this in the first place (hence giving up and just bodging it together!)
The next job is a bit more important (potentially), which is moving all of the point sleepers which are overlapping so that they are in the right place. Of course not knowing what the right place is makes this a bit more fun! (not to mention I am struggling with the Templot website's search function trying to find something that tells me how to do it...)
The final job for the evening is going to be converting the track so that it has the correct sleeper spacing for FB track (so that I can easily sort out the incorrect spacing on the Exactoscale bases.) Again having found the appropriate instructions I proceeded to be confused by imperial data entry!) The big problem I have at the moment is that I need to have a mixture of BH (a couple of sidings and the branchline) and FB (the mainline and all but one point).
Not a very productive night so far, so hopefully it will get better.....
Anyway I've added the full trackplan below
