Exactoscale Chairs

[paratom]

I have been conversing with Norman Solomon with regards to having some points made for me and he is under the impression that Exactoscale no longer make the 4 bolt chairs although the EM gauge society has them for sale but could be old stock. Can anyone confirm if this is true? I would also like to know if you can mix Exactoscale chairs with C&L chairs and that they will sit at the same hieght. Exactoscale do a check rail chair for EM but the flangeway gap is 0.8mm which is not the 1.00mm requirement for EM. Has anyone used these for EM point work and had problems?

I can't comment on supplies, but you can certainly mix C&L and Exactoscale chairs happily enough as I have done so. The check rail chairs work fine in my experience as well, but may not with Romford/Markits wheel profiles. I say may not because I'm not currently in a position to try the one loco I have with these wheels through the track I have with these chairs (I'm in Kent, the loco is in Somerset).

Exactoscale has a website https://exactoscale.com/ According to this their products are only available from some of the societies, Scalefour Society, EM Gauge Society, Scale 7 Group and GOG.

Would be interesting to know if you can use Romford/Markits wheels with the Exactoscale check rail chairs as I would imagine quite a few EM gauge modellers have them on their locos. I'm in the process of producing a Midland Railway check rail chair with a 1.00mm flangeway. If successful I might produce some GWR ones.
