Re: 21mm gauge wheel & track standards
|
David, ? Find a gauge with the right crossing/check rail details. If you have access to lathe, drill a hole through the centre. Cut the gauge in half. Tap both holes and put a bolt through. You can screw one end in and out until the gauge is right. ? I have some gauges which are a bolt with various washers on it held apart with a tube spacer. I think they were C&L but that's not the ones I've seen recently. If you can locate a source, just needs a longer bolt and spacer. ? Frank ?

Subject: Re: [o14] 21mm gauge wheel & track standards? Hi David I used my 0-14 track gauge as a guide and moved the rail centres out.
Hello, ? I am building a short 3 foot [21mm gauge] line as a pilot project. I'm using the Slaters wheels. Today I'm building the first point. I can't find any data on the track or wheel standards?other than measuring the wheels. What I need to know is the flangeway clearance to use in the crossing. Flange thickness: 0.5mm
Back-Front: 19.5?
Check gauge: 19.5
Track gauge: 20mm
Wheel flange & tread: 3mm I have the parts cut and ready to go. I'm inclined to make the flangeway clearance 1mm [thickness of a wooden coffee stirrer] and see how it goes.?
