I have just prepared this diagram in response to a question on the S4Soc forum. It may be of interest here: 2_060815_440000000.png The diagram shows how a model blade tip can be prepared to fit into the joggle and align the running edge with the unjoggled part of the rail. The extreme end of the blade is then rounded off to match the top corner radius on the stock rail. A typical joggle is 3/8" deep. The 9/16" dimension below the rail top is the gauging line, i.e. the position on the rail where the track gauge is measured. The diagram shows vertical rail. If you use inclined rail the dimensions remain the same. More info about all this on the real track page, which I have updated with this diagram: http://templot.com/companion/real_track.php cheers, Martin. |

Hello Martin Thanks for this its very clear what needs to be done which, whilst I think I've broadly followed in the switches I've already built, I don't think I completely understood why I was rounding it off. This diagram makes it very clear. Kind regards Andrew PS what was the name of the thread on the Scalefour site |

The same info, with variations, gets spread across Templot Club, S4Soc, RMweb, Western Thunder, and several others. cheers, Martin. |
