Western Star Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Suppose that I have a turnout drawing which gives me the geometry of the rails, switches, crossing and check rails... without the rail joints being marked in either the stock rails or the closure rails. For a GWR turnout of 1:7 angle and 10' loose-heel switch blades, where are the joints in the stock rails? Given that I am modelling the GWR in the early years of the twentieth century then the maximum length of rail is 44' 6" rather than 45' 0".

RMweb Gold martin_wynne Posted June 2, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Hi Graham, Most of the information you need is in Templot (based on original Paddington drawings): Other info is in the drawings, I will post it later with a fully customised Templot file (on the Templot Club forum). See also David Smith's GWR track book. cheers, Martin. Edited June 2, 2020 by martin_wynne typo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
