Hello I'm going to start Temploting over some British Rail plans (41.66' to 1" scale), and I wondered what the bar near the switch end of a turnout represented? Is it the tips of the switches, where the stretcher bar is, or something else? I can't post a real example (copyright), but attached is an (made up) example. 499_171051_330000000.png  TIA Richard. |

As far as I can tell it is where the point blades start. The stretcher bars can be some distance from the tip of the blades. Jamie |

But I'm in agreement with Jamie -- unless you have a reason to think otherwise, it's probably the switch toe (blade tips). (CTRL-2 peg position in Templot). regards, Martin. |

As a matter of interest how old is the plan that you are working on because unless it's within the last 50 years it should be out of copyright. I was told that the stuff that is old enough to be in the National Archives is non copyright. The same applies to old OS maps. Jamie |

Thanks - it's ex CLC - redrawn/traced by BR. The copy I'm getting, from GMCRO, is covered by the following copyright message: "In the UK virtually all archives, no matter how old they are, are in copyright until 31 December 2039." Thanks for your interest |
