... :29 from: Colin Parks Thanks for that advice Phil. It seems like good idea in that it uses a rail in the template format. As I am only intending the position to be shown, the gauge can be calculated (cannot think of the exact measuement needed right now) and the best layout of the third rails plotted, without too much need for accuracy lengthwise (i.e. to one decimal place). All the best, Colin Last edited on 30 Jan 2017 15:35 by Colin Parks posted: 10 Feb 2017 11:42 from: Phil O Hi All I have been asked to Templot a 3rd rail track plan in 00, does anyone have a suggestion as to what "gauge" to set the 3rd rail too, it's a Southern Region layout.

Hi Pete, No, the requirement applies only to Templot2, as stated in the terms for free use of the program. You can go on using your old paid-for version of Templot as much as you wish. The two programs are completely separate and you can use either or both at any time. However, Templot2 contains a great many new features, so I imagine ...

... important V's don't generate on the template. I have tried all the variations of the turnout geometry, but have concluded that there must be some simple parameter that I have missed — possibly in the custom template dialogues, and this screws up the correct creation of the regular crossing — and maybe other configurations of turnout and crossing templates yet to be encountered. Can anyone help point out what I am missing? I have attached a box file showing the problem. regards Keith Johnson Attachment: attach_2102_2669_7mm_Broad_Gauge.b ox 234 posted: 5 Apr 2015 10:14 from: Alan Turner Widen the track centres using Geometry/Adjacent Track Centres. regards Alan posted: 5 Apr 2015 10:40 from: keithj15 Hi Alan, This was my first thought too, being that it was easy, and during the setting up of the custom settings Templot "suggested" adjacent widths in excess of 113mm. Unfortunately this is one of those compromises that are not acceptable by the modellers as they are trying to stay true to the original plans, which have a 6ft way, as ...
... you can provide. regards Brian posted: 7 Dec 2016 19:49 from: Phil O I wouldn't worry too much about it, draw in you main line and then" insert turnouts in plain track" adjust the 'V' angle using F5 to suit where you want the branch track to go, which keeps the radius at or above your minimum radius. If one of the roads carries passengers use the larger switch, if not use the smaller switch. If both roads carry passengers I try to use a 1 in 10 crossing if I have the room, but I don't drop below 1 in 8 plus a 'C' switch. For goods only you can come down to an 'A'switch. You may have to accept compromises if you can't fit your switch and crossing work in the space available.

For example this turnout is found to be a D ...
207. Track centres
... spurs, etc., should be spaced at 10ft way (60.67mm centres) from a running line, or 9ft way minimum (56.67mm centres) where this is unavoidable because of existing structures, etc. But you can always find exceptions and local rules. Where for example a double line has been singled, and one track remains in use as a siding. regards, Martin. posted: 4 Jul 2016 17:12 from: Hayfield Martin Thank you, as it happens I took a stab in the dark and used 10' for the gap between the shed and the running lines, but not the loco runaround I guess the engine shed will be much the same with 10' track centres?

I am running Templot on a Linux machine via Wine so maybe it is just a link thing.The icon is present on another machine that retains the previous versions. Thank You.

... all for your kind comments! I superimposed the satellite image to get the scale- just off the bottom of the screenshot is a 50ft scale marker, so I adjusted the image over the map in Photoshop until I got the best alignment, then used the 50ft mark with a 200mm grid in Templot to get the scale. The Templot bit isn't perfect, and subsequently looking at a photo of the left hand end (as in the screenshot) shows that the turnout is probably something more like 1:8 or 1:10 with a distinct S-bend to the other platform line. Still, it only took a few hours with just the satellite image and map to work from! posted: 13 Oct 2012 10:02 from: Paul Severs Neil Berrington wrote: The tricky area is really the flow of the goods yard- almost tandem turnouts.

213. Templot GUI Control
... at that point we found out who had followed the guidelines and who had not! Of course, over successive OS versions they have completely re-arranged all the directory structures/ folder names etc, but programmes written to the 15 year old guidelines continue to work fine. So here is the answer to your question Martin:- the "problem it causes" is that Templot is not "system independent" thus, if they *ban* writing (or installations) to the root directory in WIN 8/9 /10 Templot will not work. You then have a re-write forced on you OR we as users cannot upgrade our machines. Having said all that, and recognising the long development path (no pun!) of Templot, I really sympathise and fully agree that there are more important things in which to to invest your precious programming time! In any case, we will probably all be long dead before Microsoft mess with C:/ !! Nigel, with respect, Windows did not start as a competitor to " ...

Is that really true? I hate it when I google how to do something only to find that to get the answer I have to wade through a 10 minute video instead of being able to read through something at my own speed. I know that on yours we can easily pause video, but you still can't print a video out and keep it in a file! I wonder what other people think? I think now that by far the best set of instructions and tutorials is this very forum! How about making any documentation no more than a "Getting started" set of instructions with all the basics covered, sufficient to create, say, a simple GWR terminus station ...

... topic: 2591 Storage Yard efficient useage posted: 8 Dec 2014 10:30 from: Godfrey Earnshaw My proposed layout is basically a horseshoe. The storage/fiddle yards will be on one leg of the horseshoe. My question is what is the best arrangement to come from the "horse shoe" toe into the storage yard to give the maximum length of siding in the leg. I am working in 00-SF, the entrance curve is minimum 915mm (36") radius. The sidings are on 60mm centres. I have utilised 1 in 8 curved turnouts and tools>make branchtrack. From this branchtrack I have constructed a transition to the adjacent parallel track. This is repeated, working outwards, until the requisite number, of tracks, is constructed. At the moment this is four. Supplementary question; would I be better using a curviform V-crossing?

Hi, Yes they are not a "scale" item. You are up against the limits of injection moulding. Heat, flow rate and the thinness of section. It is the same reason that cockpit canopies in modern kits of aircraft are still so thick. Also from memory they do hold the rail. Any thiner and probably there wouldn't be the robustness that the task requires. Like any of these items it is a toss up for manufacturer for accuracy, successful manufacturing,market penetration and end use. It is ...
... 11 00:12:43____ from: Paul Boyd Looks like an interesting project. I lived in Bristol for most of my life until I managed to escape, and I think it's a shame and somewhat ironic that the old station is just a car park now. As far as track spacing goes, this was originally built with broad gauge, and I vaguely remember seeing an engraving that shows four broad gauge tracks, so that should give you an idea. originally dated: 2008-03-11 10:12:13____ from: Nigel Brown Paul Boyd wrote: As far as track spacing goes, this was originally built with broad gauge, and I vaguely remember seeing an engraving that shows four broad gauge tracks, so that should give you an idea.

I put nicks in the foot of the stock rail for the set bend The handlaidtrack frog jig looks excellent and similar to the vee filing jigs, if a lot of turnouts are being built at the same angle it might be worth the expence posted: 31 Jul 2020 07:04 from: Hayfield Paul I would like to add, make sure you use sharp files and file one way only. I buy Vallobe files, they are slightly dearer than cheap files but so much better For code 75 I use a smooth cut 10" when using the vee jig, I also have smooth and 2nd cut 6" files For the switch rail jigs I use 10" on the backs and 6" on the inside heads.
