In 1994, Bachmann introduced the then-revolutionary E-Z track, that featured HO track built onto a moulded plastic roadbed that could be assembled like typical HO track. This allowed for operating HO trains on the floor without worry of dust, lint and carpet fibres, though traditional tabletop layouts could also be designed using this track system.
This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.
Bachmann added several buildings to the product line every year until 1958. Some of these buildings were of Bachmann design, but others came from competing product lines that Bachmann absorbed in the mid-1950s. In the late 1950s, mass-market interest in trains declined, with other pastimes, such as slot cars, gaining at their expense. Bachmann ...
Track geometry involves standards, speed limits and other regulations in the areas of track gauge, alignment, elevation, curvature and track surface. [2] [failed verification] Standards are usually separately expressed for horizontal and vertical layouts although track geometry is three-dimensional.
This was a unique problem for software developers, since users often became frustrated with current help documents. [2] Some considerations for writing a user guide that developed at this time include: the use of plain language [2] length and reading difficulty [2] the role of printed user guides for digital programs [3] user-centered design [3]
Hornby Track-Master is a birds eye 2D Planning tool, distinct from Hornby Virtual Railway (HVR). HVR [ note 1 ] uses a 3D Planning Environment in which one can plan, build and test a layout. However, being released many years ago, it has fairly low quality graphics.
The layout can be operated by manual or computer control. Trains can run completely unattended or a single operator can control the layout with the click of a mouse. In the United States, a landmark N scale project layout, the Clinchfield, was built in 1978 by Gordon Odegard and featured in a series of articles for Model Railroader magazine
An integrated circuit layout editor or IC layout editor is an electronic design automation software tool that allows a user to digitize the shapes and patterns that form an integrated circuit. Typically the view will include the components (usually as pcells), metal routing tracks, vias and electrical pins.
