LXF files for the Mk III

Here are two links to the LXF files

The baseplate version http://www.mediafire...zxlt9jw2y59t4dn




  and the freestanding version http://www.mediafire...jwh7xndcqntw2sj



Don't forget that a bit of track either side should be raised up to form a gentle incline, as a sudden 2 plate jump may be a bit steep.

Close but no cigar....

Another day, another version of the decoupler. 

The Mk III supercedes the second version, which although worked perfectly, only did so with low clearance wagons.
 
Lets run through the changes:

The Decoupler

This has now grown to a 2 x 10 plate and has some extra parts in the middle.  The wedges are now the important part, with the other bricks being addition weight.


 

Guide to building the Simple Decoupler version 2

There is nothing to this build, a few common parts

Three sections make up the decoupler.

1) Track section
2) Decoupler
3) Lock

I've done thinking...

I looked at the slider, but there is no flexibility on adding anything else to it, due to small heights available.

So the only other thing to change would be the decoupler itself.



The design now incorporates a 1 x 1 wedge and this allows the slider to move underneath and move the decoupler back into the closed position.
