- Trainbase 6 x 22 with Motorcutout Type I with Magnets (Complete) (this name seems too long...)

Considering the number of train bases with motor cutouts, we maybe could just
skip that notation.
|
There are trainbases with and without motorcutouts, some with the same size.
That’s why I suggested to add the cutout to the name. Also for seeking those
parts as one of them is just a plate. Perhaps adding Motorcutout as a keyword
can help to seek these parts.
About the semaphore signal:
| |
| |
Should I create 4 complete shortcuts for the train signal?
|
I’d rather you didn’t. The (Complete) and (Shortcut) notations should
indicate to modelers that they can examine the part file for component parts,
which they can incorporate directly into their model.
Since the lever (handle) and blade can’t both be rotationally centered, you
should create 2 files - x304c01 as a (Complete) file as either the Stop or
Proceed attitude, and x304c02 is a (Shortcut) with the alternate attitude.
| |
(Red/Blue Stop, Red/Blue Proceed, White/Red Stop, White/Red Proceed)
|
Use the more common color scheme when you create x304c01 and x304c02.
|
As far as I know the red/blue signal was the first TLC produced, later changed
into white/red. No other color combinations were ever produced IIRC. For the two
attitudes Stop and Proceed, I’d rather have those terms included in the name.
About the lightbrick:
| |
| |
- Electric Lightbrick 4 x 2 (complete assembly shortcut)
- ~Electric Lightbrick 4 x 2
- Light Bulb for Electric Lightbrick 4 x 2
|
In the complete part, is the light removable from the brick? If it is, then
the brick’s title should not be prefixed with a tilde (~).
|
I did not listed additional metal parts, as I know these go in the S-folder
using the same partnumber as the main part with s01, s02, etc. The ~Electric
Lightbrick 4 x 2 is just the CA (not ABS ;-) part, the complete assembly
shortcut contains the CA part and the metal parts. Since the lightbulb is indeed
removable should I create two complete parts?:
* Electric Lightbrick 4 x 2
(Complete)
* Electric Lightbrick 4 x 2 with Light Bulb (Shortcut)
The metal parts are like the left image. I created the right image just to
distinguish the metal pieces from the plastic.
