Thanks for the explanation of the O14 standards. I am the 'guilty'
person responsible for publishing your standards in the files section.
I have been following these standards for many years (having been a
reader of NG&I for many years) and can vouch that they work well for
'larger' two-foot gauge prototypes. I have some quite complex
pointwork including some curved points rarely experience any
problems. I agree that it is critical to keep exactly to the standards
and especially the back to back. I also use compensation and springing
wherever possible which I feel helps.
In the abscence of anything better I would like to suggest your
standards are still published, that is assuming you dont mind. At
least until someone who knows more about this suggests further
improvements.
Unfortunately attachments get stripped off posts to the group, so I do
not know what the PDF looks like. If you would like to send me the
attachment directly I can either update my document to match.
Alternatively you may wish to publish your standards directly and I
can remove my document (or I can do it for you)
Regards
