NEM-standards are used by model railway industry and hobbyists in Europe. The standards are published in French and German and both versions have an official status.

'Nontoxic' Printmaking & Printing. Dip Tanks for EtchingDue to its generous volume of solution and vigorous agitation, a dip tank represents the best facility for the mechanical removal of the crystalline sediments that ferric chloride generates as it etches.
Larger tanks can be custom made by most acid unit manufacturers (or plastics fabricating companies), preferably from welded polypropylene. For home use and smaller scale work, even a square bucket or plastic crate will make a very serviceable etching tank, especially if fitted with an agitation pump. Dip tank at RIT: Many print studios have customized dip tanks for etching. AerationTo agitate the etch solution; one or several tubes of fish tank airline can be fitted to a dip tank. The air outlets should point upward and be connected to a powerful fish tank aeration pump. The Chemistry of Ferric Chloride The corrosive properties of ferric become clear when you look at its chemical composition.

The tracks on a full sized railway are not just laid at random.
Every piece of main line, siding and loop that is laid has been put there for a reason. There are a number of reasons for the tracks to be placed where they are. The ideal is to have stations located in the places most suited to the passenger and freight traffic which will be using it and to link stations together with dead straight track which keeps running times to a minimum. The main reason that this doesn't occur is because of restrictions caused by the terrain through which the railway line passes.
The terrain will often require many long tunnels, cuttings, embankments, bridges, and viaducts if a straight line is to be followed. These factors give us quite a lot of help when it comes to building a model railway. Model Signal Engineering Home Page. Welcome to the home page of Model Signal Engineering, the world's leading manufacturer and supplier of British outline semaphore signalling parts for model railways.
Our current catalogue and other useful information is listed on these pages: Model lighting. Run-roundLoop. When a loco-hauled train arrives at a terminus, the engine has to be detached, moved to the other end of the train via a loop line, and coupled onto what is now the front end so that the train can depart back to where it came from.
Even though railcars and “push-pull” sets have made it a rare sight on the main line, everyone who has ever been on a museum steam railway will be familiar with this operation of “running round”. If you want to model a rural branch line in Rail3D, you will need to have some means of reproducing this sequence. Fortunately, it is very straightforward to set this up. 1 Basic layout.

If you do not mount your point motor correctly in central position with the centre position of the point, you run the risk of point motor burnout.
The smaller the gauge becomes, it is more important as the point movement becomes less and less. The PM-1 and PM-4 Point Motors have an added switch within the point motor itself and this internal switch will not operate correctly unless the point motor is installed correctly. If off centre, only one half of this internal switch will operate and possibly cause a burnout. You will need one of these INSTALLATION ERRORS and ANSWERS. L&B MODEL SIGNALLING.

Fewer stations are allowing Perth's passenger trains to reach faster average speeds than any other metropolitan rail network in Australia.
The revelation has emerged in a national rail report card released in WA this week. The report found that fewer stations - and a greater distance between them - could help with timetabling and punctuality. But it also discouraged patrons from walking to stations, placing extra pressure on park-and-ride facilities and bus interchanges. The analysis by the Federal Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics and the Australasian Railway Association was released by Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss at the opening session of the association's two-day conference.
It found the average distance between Perth train stations was 2.5km, compared with 1.4km in Adelaide, 1.9km in Sydney and 1.8km in Melbourne and Brisbane. "Perth's network is almost 45 per cent longer than Adelaide's but has 16 fewer stations," it said. Railway modelling suppliers. Railway modelling suppliers. InterCity 125. "High Speed Train" redirects here.
For high-speed trains in general, see high-speed rail. After three decades, the majority of the HST fleet is still in front-line revenue service under privatisation, and while the InterCity 125 brand name is rarely mentioned officially by the private train-operating companies (TOCs), the InterCity 125 still forms the backbone of intercity services on several British main lines.
Most are expected to be replaced within the next 10 years by the Intercity Express Programme, but a number will continue in use on London to Devon/Cornwall services, where there are no plans to electrify the lines.[1] Engineers from the companies responsible have calculated that, with a certain amount of rewiring, the Mark 3 carriages used can be made to last until at least 2035.[2] The power cars now have new engines and new lights, and the coaches have been refurbished.
