I'm working on a trestle for my Atlas track. I was going to upload it but thought it would be convenient to have an adapter clip for Gargraves track too. Does anybody have a 10" straight piece of Gargraves that they could make a little drawing of the tie dimensions? I'm looking for height, width, length, and spacing. I plan to get my hands on a piece but I have time today to get this drawn up and start test printing.

Thanks!

The curves are tricky because you have ties perpendicular to a tangent point on an arc. I'm still trying to get accurate curve pieces for doing up my layout in 3D CAD. It's tough. Circles make the world go round but they're not the easiest to create/measure/draw when you're just going with handtools. It gives me a massive appreciation for what was accomplished before digital measuring and design became a thing. It's a whole different bag of clever tricks.
