Hi Guys,

I used double-sided tape. Downside with that was when I removed it from the paper it had some flex in it, but I was then fitting it back onto the master templot already on the board so it wasn't a problem.

I would recommend sticking the base down to the template with PVA and let it set. Then you can trim it with a blade around the base. It should hold its shape then.

p.s. not sure why you are using 00-BRMSB in your screenshot? I have done the same for comparison, but I thought you were using 00-DOGAI for the kits?

I just chose it quickly for this screen grab..lol

I'ld like to produce a 9ft-4 and 9ft-5 as well as an A5. Should cover all bases :)

Thanks Wayne, I thought I’d ask as there are places where our compromises to fit stuff in means they’d be quite useful on industrial areas but I guess that is a pretty limited demand too. 

Where A4's ever a thing? :) In 00 gauge, the radius is 360mm...

3 hours ago, PaulRhB said:

Wayne, is there any possibility of sharper industrial radii points in the future? With the Peckett’s, Barclay’s and Ruston’s available and Peco not seemingly likely to replicate their tightest 438mm setrack with a finer rail and sleepers would an equivalent be a viable project?

I will be releasing an A5 turnout which is propably about the tightess radii you want to go to, to be honest.

Just what I was thinking as well. But Wayne when are the EM A5’s coming out……..

Hi.
Sorry to drag the topic away from posh alcoholic drinks and back to finescale trackwork. 
just tried to order a couple of OO point kits and got a message saying out of stock due to waiting for a delivery of bullhead rail. Any rough idea of when the kits will be available to order again? 
kind regards. 
Bill. 

Hi Bill,

They'll be back in stock mid next week :)

Now i know who you are!

I spent much time experiementing with colour pigments to add to the resin to get what I would call "Quaffable Colour".

Man if I spent as much time in CAD as making silly QC references, I might actually get something done :D

Time for bed....

QC...quite complicated!....quite compromised!.....ooops...quite complete! That's better🤣

My kits are just "Rather Good...."...
 

Enough said :)

My kits are best described as "Quintessential Clarity" 🧐

Thank you! I don't suppose you have the instruction PDF for the classic/legacy turnouts and diamonds still knocking around?

Sure, buzz us an email... :)

Hi Wayne, I was wondering when we might be able to expect the N gauge easy-build turnouts back in stock? I'm working through the classic turnout kits but finding all those chairs being threaded a bit mind numbing!

Should only be a week or 2!

If this is EM gauge then this will be a perfect match to the Society’s 1:6 points.  Don’t throw it away just park it for the future as there will be a number of EMGS members wanting this.  
Great work,

Frank

It's 00-SF but yes it's now parked

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday!

I got this far with the CAD and realised I've set to 1in6 instead of 1in7... GGGRRRRRRR!!!!!

Hi Wayne,

 

If you are using Templot, have you noticed this option? It changes the length of the check rails too:

 

May not be needed with your wiring scheme.

 

cheers,

 

Martin.

Yes, I've had a play with the setting, seems to be enough clearance anyway. Thanks!

Hmmm, after the RMweb 'disaster' and the forum coming back online, I had gone and re uploaded missing images to my previous posts in the thread. Now today I see the images are gone again? Anyone had this issue on newly uploaded pics?

Currently sitting here working on the CAD for the 00-SF 1in7 Double Slip...

Hi Wayne, 

 

Out of interest, do you mind me asking you what is next in development for 00? 

 

Kind regards,

 

Nick.

Hi Nick,

It will be an A5 standard turnout, followed by 1in7 Single Slip...

Just now, martin_wynne said:

Thanks Wayne. So they are branded Finetrax and available to non-members of the societies to order from those shops?

 

Unlike the EMGS B-6 which is not Peco-branded and available only to EMGS members.

Hi Martin,

They are branded Finetrax, only members can purchase from the respective society shops. They will be available to non members once listed on my website. Members get a slight discount for buying them  from the society shop.

There maybe the opportunity for non members to purchase at shows, but you would need to check with the societies on that.

The mystery is where are these 3mm kits available?

The 2FS and 3mm kits are currently only available directly from the respective society shops. I will be adding them to my website in due course, just busy with other items/orders right now

so it can have it's own focused discussion thread, rather than bringing it up randomly in other topics that don't want distractions.

I agree. I really do like the look of real wooden timbers, especially the way the paint and weathering soaks into them creating a nice realistic matt look.

I did a few of these in 2mm Finescale years ago, and they looked great. I think it was walnut sheets, if I remember.

Maximum respect to those that use this method!

I like the idea of a 3 way turnout with interlaced sleepers!

 

Also, Don't waste any more time with the mouth breather who keeps harassing you.

His threat below, suggesting that he will further escalate this by posting something, can only end badly for him.

 

Really looking forward to the release of the EM diamond crossing!

Thanks, Jack!

I'll look into the 3 way after previously said kits. I've already made one in N Gauge
