For his Standard 00 kits, Wayne matched the turnout geometry and timbering to DOGA-Fine (00-DOGAF), but widened the flangeway gaps to DOGA-intermediate (00-DOGAI). If you are building only the kits (i.e. not intermixing with hand-built), you can ignore the flangeway gaps on the templates, because the gaps are set by the kit. So in that case it is best to design the layout plans using 00-DOGAF. You can convert your existing plans to 00-DOGAF in one go, but it won't be a perfect conversion because 00-DOGAF turnouts are slightly longer than 00/H0 turnouts. There will be some gaps and overlaps between the templates. But probably not too bad and easily fixed. Much quicker than starting again. To convert you plans to 00-DOGAF, do this: gauge > other gauges... cheers, Martin. Martin, I did a global convert to D0GAF as you describe in the final section and all went well. I can see the minor misalignments but as my track plan is not complex I can resolve these easily. Thanks for the assistance. Certainly will be easier than starting over!

BWsTrains Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) One more comment regarding bending these kits may be helpful. The Sleeper base is very flexible polymer and has a modest tendency to curve up laterally at the exits after assembly of the turnout, something easily attended to when fixing down. However my curved assembled kits showed rather more of this than I was comfortable with so I set to finding a solution. Hardly rocket science but it works very well. Leave the completed kit like pinned like this for a day or two to 5mm ply and it comes out close to flat and then stays put. The switch rail electrical bonding to stock rails still pending.

Wayne Nothing to apologise about at all, to me this thread is moving along the requests for" easy to build and better looking track", sadly there are a few around who just want to disrupt threads for the sake of it. Nothing wrong with constructive comments even if sometimes it falls into constructive criticism, that's how we can learn and move things forward. Well done for keeping your cool for so long One of the issues with 00 gauge is that there are so many variants from course scale to ultra fine scales, its a great pity the trade does not agree a common set of standards for new stock. I look forward to your new announcements and the thread getting back on track 5 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wayne Kinney Posted March 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) Hi Guys, OK, I promised some eye candy to get this topic back on track. Below are some pictures of the EM Gauge 1in7 Diamond and 1in7 Double Slip kits: These should both be released this week, with 00 Gauge and 00-SF versions to follow the following week. Price of the Diamond kit is the same as a standard turnout at £22.99, the Double Slip kit is £39. I'm also wanting to get an A5 standard turnout kit released in all 3 gauges by the end of the month. I go on holiday beginning of April so want all this done before I leave What formations would you like to see next? I believe an A5 & B7 crossover would be sensible, but I'm looking for input! Maybe a single slip? Edited March 31, 2022 by Wayne Kinney 13 5 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHC Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Cor better than a Cadbury cream egg. Great to hear the A5 is due out soon. Welldone Wayne you deserve a holiday.

Thanks to Wayne, track is now very much the easy bit.. But regauging rolling stock and replacing or modifying wheelsets is the next hurdle for most? But watch what I am doing to the original 1980s Hornby HST conversion, and it's more than just a wheelset change...! (Under Modifying and Detailing RTR Stock) And there will be more conversions to follow..! Including steam..! Patrick 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
