Query Regarding Crossing Vee Filing Jigs


Recommended Posts

  • RMweb Premium

Hi,

 

I've just received a crossing vee filing jig that's noticeably thicker than the norm - can anyone tell me what the difference is please?  The slots for the rail are deeper as well.

 

Many thanks,

Brian

for Code 100 v code 85 rail?

 

I think the jigs were designed for code 75 but I clearly see your point.  How bizarre, are they from EMGS Stores @polybear ?

No idea of the supplier, sadly - I received them from the estate of another modeller.

 

This is an EMGS jig, with a chunk of code 75 for comparison 👍

Could it be foe either code 100 (as stated) or even code 125 ?  As you are aware the rail should be a snug fit. Looking at the photo the slots are clearly deeper and wider making me think its a 7mm filing jig. If the slot is just under 3mm its possibly code 125

Thanks John - I think you've cracked it 😃; the slots are just under 3mm deep and are 1.6mm wide - so Code 125?

Thanks,

Brian

Prior to Templot Plug track I would have made an offer, having said that the Scale Seven Soc sell these quite cheaply
