The STM (Schenkeldijkse Tramweg Maatschappij)

I could easy make that whole corner in 3d, i only need propper measurements of your concrete, and to keep it simple without chairs and only with alu strip.
Templot is the program i use, with adding 3d print and some other features the learning curve for this program is gettin more difficult.

Chairs will take a bit longer for mash fixing, sorry
 
Hi Igor, Thanks for the help offered, much appreciated. But I don't have a 3D printer. I work at least 8 hours/day on a laptop so in my spare time I'd rather use some real tools :-D
Maybe in the future I might get one, but then I think a laser cutter is more to my liking for building coaches and such.

I figured out that the Thiel point mentioned solves my problem. The parameters are Radius: 765/1175mm (R2/R3).
 
Have to agree with you Henri re 3D printing, have been pondering for a long time but still hanging back. I also have an issue in that the CAD package I am familiar with has not gone down the 3D route as yet. Tools good but a lazer cutter sounds very good, must investigate.
 
or 2d print and cut wooden sleepers.

I am a wood worker, laser cutter do have some advantages, more precise, but also more time consuming.
I stick for myself with my jigs and real wood,
So from 2d paper print to product, it has something more for me.


Mihi necesse est optimus, in mea regione. :cool:

No need to be sorry btw, i had some fun

Piko’s curved point arrived and was installed today. All connected tracks were hand bent to get a smooth curve. The inner one is R2-ish and the outer one R3-ish. The test wagons run smoothly through them. The incoming curve needs some rearrangement concrete wise.
Just a few more meters and trains can run!

This incoming curve is also beteen R2 and R3 and I don’t want to make it sharper.
 
The wires arent some fancy overhead line system. They are to keep the cats inside the garden.

They must be electrified then ?
