Upper Hembury, East Devon - a GWR / SR Branch line
Wayne Kinney replied to BWsTrains's topic in Layout topics
It is unfortunately the nature of Finescale track and the soldered joints on the tie bar. You might not get any issues but over time the solder joint may give way. An easy enough fix if it does, though. -

Hi, Solenoid type motors are not recommended with Finetrax turnouts. A slow action motor such as Tortoise or Servos are best. -
So beautifully, aptly, humorously and honestly illustrated!

Hi Andy, It would be code 60 bullhead rail, IF this does take off. I'm only prototyping in the background for my own musings ATM. I would need full support from the 3mm Society for supply of rail IF this would/could take off...

Hi Guys, I personally love what Hornby are doing! A TT120 Finetrax range of Flexi Track and Turnouts would hopefully compliment the Hornby and Peco TT120 range very well, do you think? Disclaimer: 4mm Scale pictured. But a TT120 version would look very similar! I've done some actual prototyping today and results look good.

Haha, exactly what I'm reseaching right now as you posted. I have already made a design at 50mm track centres, but this is not prototypical (too far apart)! I would love to hear peoples input on track centres. Remember that exactly scaling down of the 6 foot way doesn't work as that measures from the insides of the running rails, and of course 00 Gauge doesn't use a prototypical track gauge! So it's best to use prototypical 'track centres' and work from there...

Hi Duncan, Should be over the next couple of months. I've not done much in the way of CAD work over the last 3 - 4 weeks as orders have been pretty high, but it's calming down this week so can get back to it. I do go on Holiday for a week from the 12th, so the webstore will be closed during that time.
