... item. You can't move the 2nd crossing too far as the check rail will conflict with the 3rd crossing. regards, Martin. The Check rail fouls the closure by 1.185mm or actual 3 1/2". I was unsure wether to shorten the flare by 6" or to use the method shown in the photo. A nice set of reference photo's BTW. All I did for the timbering was to go from Equalized- Incremental to square on to main road and lengthen and throw the timbers to get the correct amount outside the running rails. The spacing is what Templot came up with. There is enough room to get a packing bar or Kango between the timbers except where those two timbers overlap. I will have a look at adjusting the 2nd crossing after tea if there is time. Many Thanks Phil I will have a look at adjusting the 2nd crossing angle after tea.

I have gone for more of a practical comprise, which I'm sure they would have on site. 1522_220214_580000000.png Thanks for every ones thoughts Regards Dave posted: 22 Apr 2010 08:33 from: Martin Wynne David wrote: That diagram actually shows through timbers right back to the Closure Rails/Crossing joints. Hi Dave, The limiting condition is not the position within the turnout, but the proximity of the adjacent rails outside the turnout. Long timbers tend not to be used where the space to the next set of rails is more than about 3ft-ish. Two shorter timbers, or a timber and a sleeper, would be used instead. This means that your crossover with widened track spacing requires fewer long timbers -- but each one is longer than the 19ft-6in shown in that diagram. As the tracks widen further, the number of long timbers needed gets fewer, but the timbers get longer. If the crossover is sufficiently ...

... 1200 How do I move name labels of partial templates which will not highlight posted: 13 Aug 2010 12:18 from: Brian Nicholls Hi All, I am in the middle of plotting templates for a complex formation, what is irritating is I cannot seem to be able to move the name labels of partial templates, as these are cluttering up areas where I need to do some fine work. I cannot highlight them other than using the particular number selection in the storage box, however, when I try to do something outside the storage box on the pad, the highlighting disappears. Can anyone please advise me how to deal with this annoying problem. Best regards.

... 26 Aug 2010 22:31 from: Martin Wynne Hi Robert, There are several possible solutions, but the simplest is two transition curve templates: 2_261703_520000001.png These have a common radius of about 1315mm at the centre, reducing to about 1120mm radius at the outer ends. I created them using the "make transition" function, described in this tutorial: http://www.templot.com/martweb/info_files/make_trans.htm First I did tools> make branch track on the turnout templates. Then I positioned a dummy template (blue) outside of them using the F10 swell mouse action: 2_261703_510000000.png Then use "make transition" to the dummy template to create each transition curve template. It needs a bit of fiddling about with the radii -- the curves must come as close together as possible without actually touching, and they must do it at locations well clear of the centre section, and clear of the turnouts. Otherwise the resulting transition zones will be too long and/or overlap each other or the turnouts. If you have not used "make transition ...

... about the chair failing before the naked MEK bond to the timber. I guess the only way to go would be to do a couple of small tests to see. I imagine that the grain (or lack thereof) on the plywood would also be a contibuting factor as to how well the chairs stick. My stuff I use is bright red though. Would that lose most of its colour once diluted? What ratio for dilution of it with MEK should be done? All very science experiment like. Definitely a job for outside too from memory last time I used the stuff it gave off a real pong! I have emailed you the box file Martin so if you can create A2 size pdf file that would be excellent as I have access to an internal printing firm where I work (gotta love an oil company hey!). I notice all of the chair designations along the side of the trackplan so that should put things right then. Thanks all, Paul. posted: 7 Apr 2009 10:27 from: Andy G Paul, ...

... . The diamond crossing to the mileage siding looks very odd, but as I haven't seen the prototype plan, I guess it must be right Otherwise, to my inexperienced eye, it looks good- smooth curves and transitions a-plenty. regards Paul posted: 18 Nov 2010 18:00 from: Richard Spratt Compared to the other scenic curves the curve to fiddle yard bottom right looks tight. It's even tighter then we are considering on Awrhyllgwami where we don't have anywhere as much width available. Don't you need a crossover outside the fiddle yard at the left hand end? posted: 19 Nov 2010 18:17 from: newport_rod Paul and Richard- Thanks for your comments. The two short sidings are intended for a railcar (GWR angular banana type) and a 0-4 -2 and a push-pull coach. In fact I've had to modify them as they couldn't get out onto the up line- this is probably why Richard suggested the need for a (presumably trailing) crossover, We could have put a crossover in but ...

... posted: 9 Feb 2011 08:44 from: Martin Wynne Hi Gordon, The radius showing as "minimum radius now" is the smallest radius anywhere in the template. For a straight A-5 turnout in 00-SF with a regular V-crossing, the smallest radius is 597mm (to the track centre-line) -- as you would expect, it's in the diverging turnout radius between the heel of the switch and the V-crossing. When inserted in a 1000mm ruling curve, diverging to the outside of the curve, the resultant diverging turnout radius in such a situation is actually greater than that at 1484mm. The smaller radius of the two is in the main road at 1000mm, so Templot shows that as the "minimum radius now". That's actually a very ugly turnout. If it is not part of a crossover it can be much improved by changing to a curviform V-crossing instead of regular, which increases the turnout radius to 2510mm. Changing to a 9ft switch instead of an A switch is a ...

But I have a problem in that these are running outside the printable area of the drawing pad. Note I developed the Y point on the initial start position on the Drawing Pad Is it possible to move this group of templates on the drawing pad, both from a printing point of view and also to allow further developement of this plan. Thank You Stuart posted: 1 Dec 2010 13:25 from: phileakins Hi Stuart Probably the quickest way is to create a group with all the templates (ctrl+ a) and then move the group with the mouse (shift+ ctrl+ f7- or select from the Group menu which is easier!) then ctrl+ y to cancel the group. I expect someone will be along later to tell you how to move the pad origin as I can't get it to work. Phil posted ...

... background shape and then bend it somehow. Grateful for any advice. Regards, Steve posted: 21 Jan 2011 21:47 from: Martin Wynne Steve Evans wrote: I assume that I would just load the template plan without the background shape and then bend it somehow. Grateful for any advice. Hi Steve, Sorry to disappoint you, but this isn't possible. The trackwork on the inside of the bend would get crunched up to fit, and would no longer be prototypical and possibly not even buildable. Likewise on the outside of the bend the trackwork would all get stretched out, with similar results. Templot would need to be massively more complex and intelligent to sort it all out by itself. More about this subject in this topic: topic 348 Unless this is a very complex track plan, it shouldn't take you too long to re-align everything onto new curved centre-lines. There is a video showing how to do that in this topic: topic 349 regards, Martin. posted: 22 Jan 2011 10:10 from: ...

... topic: 1363 Diamond crossings with transition curves posted: 7 Feb 2011 20:11 from: Paulr1949 Hello The title says it really- I am almost at the last stage of creating the templates for a proposed new club layout, and have to create two double junctions and they are in transition curves. See the screenshots below (I hope!) 1913_071503_460000000.png and a close up of the one I've attempted to do 1913_071508_470000000.png This one is actually (I think) outside the transition curve. I have tried quite a number of times to get this working but am having serious problems getting the angle of the crossing anywhere near the right one! I must be doing something silly- can anyone help. Another problem coming up) Paul posted: 8 Feb 2011 09:52 from: Alan Turner Templot dosen't do what you want at present.

... one of the turnouts leading to the inside of the main curve, and then click template> invert handing menu item or press CTRL+ X. Then F9 mouse action to slide it into position. Because of the contraflexure the radii will be eased, and you will probably find that you can shorten the turnout to a smaller size (F5) without infringing your minimum radius, and so perhaps fit in an extra fiddle yard track. If you really do want the main road of the turnout to run straight off to the outside of the ruling curve, you need to adjust the substitution radius (external geometrical radius) for the turnout. There is a video showing how to do that for exactly the situation you describe, at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/videos/subs_rad.exe but using contraflexure is 10 times easier and much more prototypical. regards, Martin. posted: 7 Feb 2011 21:10 from: Paulr1949 Hi Martin Thank you for the speedy reply.

Zoom in closer when you try it, so that you can actually see the notch and the ring. regards, Martin. posted: 9 Feb 2011 13:26 from: Martin Wynne p.s. Gordon, If you need longer lines extending beyond the track ends, make double-track outside your curve. Draw to that template, then delete it. There are other ways of doing the same thing. For example you could peg dummy centre-line-only straight templates at each end of your curve, and then rotate each one by 90 degrees. They should intersect on the radial centre, and you can adjust the lengths of each using F4. You can change all the printed line thicknesses at print> printed line thicknesses> set any.

Just by over laying two curved tracks, converted them to a diamond, inserting two turnouts and doing a bit of Ctrl+ F9/ F9 (which I really like) on them and I had the geometry of an irregular outside single slip in about 5 minutes flat!

... topic: 1576 Switched diamond& double slip posted: 26 Jul 2011 15:58 from: Raymond I noticed when looking up elbow crossings in David Smiths' book on page 45 Fig 26, that the GW used a sort of guard rail outside the moveable switches. Since my proposed loft layout has two switched diamonds, that are also double slips, I thought I'd have a go at fabricating them in Templot using partial templates. Here is the result drawn using a crossing rail suitable shortened. It is placed using F7 and then F8 manipulate it into position, just keep swapping the control end. That does for the straight one, (not shewn) but to get curved ones correctly fitted needed F6 of course and Control F10 to get the curve to fit snugly. Not the problem I thought it was going to be.

... accommodating, so no great hardship. I presume that at some point a few calculations were performed, and 7mm came out as the nearest whole number on the metric scale. (Metric being viewed as more scientific/engineering-y at the time.) The sensible and logical (and scientific/wnginerring!) approach is to define your scale ratio and set the gauge from that. After all, that's what we do for all of the other dimensions! (The best alternative is to make aure the distance over the outside faces of the whwels is to scale and to derive everything else backwards from that. Proto:whatever suddenly seems easier!) So, American 0 has the right scale, but unfortunately the wrong gauge, due to ignorance in the first case and ignorance of the ignorance in the second! Incidentally, 00 is listed as 1" gauge. With the track used at the time, this would make it very close to modern S scale. Since "Pendon"/"Manchester"/Ultrascale wheels work perfectly with S ...

I am in the second camp as I want to create my railroad exactly as it was designed, that being with flowing trackwork not limited by #5 or #6 turnouts. When I found Templot I thought all of my prayers had been answered but did not expect the learning curve that it required. I would say I have actually owned Templot for a few years now and have never created anything concrete in it. My bad on that front as various outside influences have stopped me sitting down for any great length of time. Yes, I am from the Windows world as I am a software developer in 4GL languages and have been weened on the M$ way of doing things. Now I am on my 8th layout design I will force myself to get to know Templot a little better so I can do justice to the paper plan when it comes time to lay track.

You can ease the radius a little by changing to a generic type of V-crossing. (Or curviform, according to the needs of the connecting geometry.) regards, Martin.
