Hebmorden is a 2mm scale layout based on the ex LYR Calder Valley line in Yorkshire.

Oddments

Three tools to lep with the preparation of PCB sleepers for 2mm scale track. A more detailed explanation of their use is available in the Yahoo Twomm VAG Files section.

The Versaline Chairplate System provides a straightforward way of setting out and fixing etched metal chairplates to printed circuit board sleepers for a wide range of track formations.

There is one etch for plain track, four for different arrangements of pointwork and a further one for fishplates. There is also a comprehensive Builder’s Guide. See on-line catalogue for details

A Chair Assembly Jig (1-120) is required for plain track and a Turnout chair assembly jig (1-122) for turnouts.

The chairplates can be used to build track in various ways:

- With bullhead rail using beads of solder to represent chairs
- With bullhead rail using cast cosmetic half chairs glued to the chairplates. Cosmetic chairs are
under development and are not yet available
- With flat bottom rail sweated to the chairplates to represent flat bottom track on wooden sleepers.

All turnout combinations straight or curved from A5 to C9 can be chaired up on the jigs.

This photo sequence shows how the system is used to apply chairplates for plain track and turnouts.

Note some of the photos were taken using pre-production samples of the etches which may be slightly different from the production versions.
