181. Not quite Ogbourne
... : 15 May 2020 12:05 from: KeithArmes Hi Rich, I think that looks as good as you are going to get, unless anybody knows more about catch points inside a turnout. Possible that the two catch points are in line, sharing the same space for the tiebar drive rods. Keith posted: 16 May 2020 21:01 from: Richard Brummitt Thanks Keith, for taking another look. I wondered about the rodding sharing a gap but decided that most of these that I've seen have them separate with the outside one closer to the the main line. The angle is different for each and I guess that makes space an issue where they come through the timber gap at an angle. They would both operate from the same lever, along with the turnout in the main line, but the rod must be separated at some place for the same reason. I've done another print out. I find it easier to see things than on the screen. I guess I should also reduce the timber spacing to 2'1" in the lead where ...
... it will start playing.) For a prototype map what you do need is enough understanding of prototype track to interpret the map. Unless it is a large scale track plan from the railway company, it is likely to have been drawn by an OS surveyor on the ground rather than a permanent-way engineer in the design office. So for example it is likely to have the switch toe position marked (blade tips) and the crossing nose position, rather than the rail joints, and for some complex formations such as outside slips and tandem turnouts, quite often the surveyor gets the rails a bit muddled.

... radius is 48". Hi Richard, I don't see the problem? Switched K-crossings make a slip 10 times easier to build (no K-crossing check rails), especially in a fiddle yard where you don't have to match any prototype appearance. You just need to fork out for 2 extra point motors. Unless I'm missing something, your design looks fine? I have quickly added the double slip roads for you. I staggered the slip switches to make it easier to create an opening clearance for them. Outside slip switches are 1:40. Inside slip switches are 1:32. Group .box file attached. regards, Martin.

I have built several switched diamonds over the years and as Martin has stated found them easier to build than fixed obtuse crossings, as there are fewer rails to align in that critical area. I think you are being overly concerned. It is possible ...

... and b. you zoom out further than the rectangle. If you zoom inside the rectangle you won't see any difference from using the rectangle, it should be faster than before regardless. But only for large track plans. If you have a high-end fast system, the improvement may be only minor. It is definitely making a difference here. cheers, Martin. yes, I did all that, interestingly, since I have long templates, the bounding rectangle, only removes a certain number of templates that fall completely outside the rectangle I dont really notice any improvements, lag on scrolling still remains an issue, but only if I attempt to scroll too fast.( 2.7Ghx 4 core i5, 16 GB ram, running native windows 7 in Parallels under OSX !! !, 27-inch (2560 x 1440) AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512Mb video ram) thanks again dave Last edited on 12 Feb 2018 23:52 by madscientist posted: 13 Feb 2018 00:03 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, If you are using Parallels ...
... You need to be clear which radius you are comparing. I think you made a typo in your screenshot, the usual USA heel offset (" spread") is 6.25" not 6.5". regards, Martin. posted: 28 Oct 2016 22:23 from: Dave Phillips Hi Martin, The sk81 file is attached. Yes, I'm trying to match a Fast Tracks template/fixture. I'll change to CLM. I'll work on vertex length as well. This suggests that the Templot template switch blade tips should be outside the FT template blade tips. Is this correct? The blunt nose is already 1/2 inch in the provided box file. Yes, the heel offset is 6.25, not 6.5. I had previously read about the blunt nose radius and heel offset for US turnouts, but missed the CLM and vertex length.

... from: Martin Wynne Also new in 226a is an option to mark specific timbers on a template by modifying the infill colour: 2_060828_490000000.png There are several reasons why you might want to mark specific timbers on the template. For example the position of dropper wires, rodding runs, etc. However, this is primarily for those modellers who like to use a hybrid form of construction, with most timbers in say wood or plastic, and a few interspersed in copper-clad for soldering. This is a popular form of construction used outside the UK for flat-bottom track. It's helpful to mark the appropriate timbers at the design stage, and I've been asked for this option on the templates. Bear in mind that once the timbers have been stuck on the template, you can't see the colours. So this option is primarily for use when actually sticking them on. Print a second template for reference if you need to see the colours afterwards. I have a hunch this will turn out to be another one of those functions which we didn't know we ...

The live sessions were intended to be a stopgap until better videos are available.

Martin The context menu placing didn't occur in my older version, right now even moving the application window doesn't un stick the context menu position. As a general comment any free floating menu should be resizeable and movable. Simply because with modern desktops, you have a plethora of widgets and screen" gadgets" that typical sit on the top Z layer obliterating anything under them. This is especially true of menus that float outside the main application screen. X Windows applications suffer the same issues these days as the modern desktop is a bit different from when X Windows was conceived.

... into a new one for another try. When you have successfully twisted a bitmap image to the correct angle, it is useful to save it from Templot and then open it in a program such as Windows Paint to crop off the unwanted white corners. Then create a new picture shape to contain it and complete the process of shifting it into alignment with the others. If the FONTS/ COLOURS tab> PAD SHAPES LINE WIDTH option is set to 1, any border lines are entirely within the image area, not around the outside of it. This means that when aligning two images side-by-side with the mouse action, the border lines should also be side-by-side, not overlapping. (If the line width is set to more than 1, the border lines should overlap by half the additional width.) When aligning images it may be helpful to de-select the borders (PICTURE SHAPES tab). N.B. Please bear in mind that Templot is not fully-fledged graphics imaging software- this "bare- ...
... , inverted hand bottom. Alan Probably because I haven't a clue as to what I'm doing like I've previously said lol I thought to myself that if I had an 8' radius curve and I wanted a 6' radius curve coming off this to the right of it then it would make it a R/H turnout. Or am I being stupid? Again? regards, Mark posted: 27 Oct 2009 00:15 from: Martin Wynne Hi Mark, If your mainline radius is 8ft, any diverging track on the outside curving in the same direction must have a radius larger than 8ft. That's not Templot -- it's ordinary geometry. It can only be 6ft radius if it curves in the opposite direction, creating a Y-turnout effect. Is that what you want? regards, Martin. posted: 27 Oct 2009 00:23 from: marsa69 Thanks for your help Martin. But it doesn't matter now. I'll just use a standard B8 L/H turnout and see where that takes me, regards, Mark posted: 27 ...

195. Superelevation
... was to keep the rails all in the same plane using very long sleepers under all tracks. However "British Railways Track" has pictures (1st Edn Pg 68) of some "two level" chairs introduced by the LMS where the base of the chair under the rail was thicker than normal to preserve the vertical alignment. The use of these meant the six foot way had to be increased in width. Perhaps Martin or someone can explain furtheer, please? The worse case is double junctions where the branch is on the outside of the curve, but itself curves in the same direction as the main. Care has to be taken to avoid the branch rail on the inside of the curve becoming higher than the outer rail of the branch. posted: 29 Oct 2009 18:03 from: Alan McMillan Hi John Your last point is interesting. There used to be a very strange arrangement at Carstairs Junction on the Scottish Region in the 1970s where the Edinburgh branch track deviated from the up main platform road which had a 6 inch cant deficiency for ...
... S wrote: I'm really struggling to read the small page numbers on my full size track plan. By this I mean the w16, w17 etc that appears in the top right and bottom left of the printed sheets. Hi Gordon, I'm sorry, this font size is hard-coded, there isn't a setting to change it. I made the corner texts intentionally small because they are within the finished template area and might obscure important detail if too large. Note that the page number is also printed in a larger font outside the trim margin in the bottom left corner. The best I can suggest is that you read that and write it on the template area before trimming off the margins. No-one has mentioned this before, and when I coded it 10 years ago it looked fine. Looking at it again now with eyes 10 years older (my eyes are the same age as yours ), I can see that it might be a problem. I will do something about this in the next upgrade. Thanks for drawing my attention ...

... / transition to take it where I need it. I rarely if ever use a constant radius other than the corners of my hidden spiral. I would generate the inside one larger than a quadrant. Set it in the corner and store. I then generate a straight template and overlay it visually to align with the curve. Get a pair of sleepers overlaid exactly to ensure the join is perfect and then F3 to shorten it. Flip back to the curve and adjust length using F3. Set up the parallel curve for the outside and job done, so no F7 in that case. Now something perhaps slightly different. If I have say an engine shed, I will put it where I need it on the layout and add a straight template which has been rotated to the right position. If I cannot get the branch track to align with the straight smoothly then I'll start from both ends as it were and extend both pieces of curved track until they are overlaid, one on top of the other and tweak them with F6 until I get the ...

This is based on a standard 60 foot track panel. The inner rail (of the curve) would have to be suitably shortened to maintain square rail joints at the end(s) of the panel. Templot should reflect the resultant sleeper spacings on a curved template but I do not know if this is the case. Derek posted: 15 Mar 2010 20:00 from: Martin Wynne Dellboy wrote: Templot should ...
