Re: 21mm gauge wheel & track standards
|
Thanks Marc, I make that 1mm which is what I was thinking?of. I can use a coffee stirred to set the clearance.?
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.
Back-Back: 19mm?
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.?
Advice welcome.
David?
