... how we are to glue the track work down in the correct place on the "underlay"? I have considered a diluted wallpaper paste solution, but am not sure if this would soak into the foam and make it go hard. Another option is carpet adhesive, but the problem there is would it allow for adjustment? Points are currently constructed on the templates with double sided adhesive tape to hold the sleepers in place. So, as per the title, how do you stick yours? Ian posted: 25 Jun 2012 08:51 from: mike47j I guess it depends if you plan to remove the template or not? I use a low tack double sided tape to fix the timbers to the template. I then remove the template before using Evostik on every about every 5th timber, I think I read that on the C&L website. I know others have loosly pinned the timbers before using dilute copydex and the ballast to fix the track, removing the pins afterwards. Mike Johnson posted: 25 Jun 2012 12:15 from: ...
202. MERG DCC system
... British designed product? If so, why does the hand unit have 'consist' on it- that is an american term to suit their multi unit lash ups. Surely for the UK we would only have a pilot or bank engine in addition to the train engine so it would be better to call it DH for double header or similar. Just a thought although it may cause confusion with DCC chips having CV's called consist address and such like. Elves back to work. Watch this space. Rob posted: 23 Oct 2017 08:43 from: Charles Orr I use servo's to drive my turnouts and the CANMIOServo is perfect for that. In addition, my control panels are being built using other suitable CBUS modules. I'm also doing a lot with 3D printing using a Prusa I3 Mk2. I have a Mk3 on backorder. Using Fusion 360 I have designed a turnout operating unit that does not use a wire pivot, based on the design of another MERG member. This looks more prototypical. Plenty to learn.

203. "No Data" Templates
... line-only templates which are exactly square to the grid, horizontal or vertical. As a workaround you can prevent it happening by shifting one end sideways by 0.01mm, which will have negligible effect on the edge of a baseboard. Try using geometry> shift/rotate> rotate template by... and entering say 0.001 degrees. Or you could use CTRL+ F10 to bulge the centre sideways by 0.01mm, leaving the ends unchanged. I will get this properly fixed. regards, Martin. posted: 5 Jul 2012 08:04 from: JFS Many thanks Martin. This does explain why I have not fallen over it previously- the last project did not have "square" baseboards.

The current desktop is destined for much lesser duties and I would like to delete that copy of Templot and install Templot on the new machine, how do I go about doing that?

Anyway, I can now scheme something for Richard based on BS-35R rail top (1.3/4" wide). The flangeway is still a mystery -- Peco 1.4mm flangeways scale up to only 1.1/4" which I suspect is under-scale for such contractor's railways. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Dec 2007 08:09 from: Richard Morton Hey there Simon and Martin thank you both for replying and to Simon for attempting to help explain what I'm trying I had a great post going but it buggered up and got lost so I'll re try. edit: Text and image removed at the request of the copyright owner.

... topic: 2041 Help please with a 3 way turnout template please posted: 10 Aug 2012 08:43 from: Hayfield Please forgive me but I can do simple functions to build turnouts and track plans, but I realy struggle with the more expert functions on Templot I am trying to create a 3 way turnout, I have watched the tutorial several times, but some how I am missing what to do. I am fine overlaying one point on to another and using the shove timbers to rearrange the sleepers. I am now left with some rails too long as they go through the common crossings etc, I see that I can remove the rails via Ctrl+ O, but I just want to shorten them. Please can someone tell me what keys need pressing so I can reduce/ increase the length of a rail Thanks in advance John posted: 10 Aug 2012 10:17 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, To avoid rails running through overlaid V-crossings, you need to take the rails out into separate partial templates.

... fallen by the wayside. I made the mistake in writing the code years ago of assuming that it would always be available, at the least. In future Templot will have its own PDF generator, which will provide the default "printer" during startup if none other is available. It seems to be a failing in Windows that there is no fall-back default driver for the Print functions to use. The obvious solution would be to "print" to the screen. regards, Martin. posted: 2 Sep 2009 08:30 from: richard_t OT: But I remember old versions of Word behaving very oddly if no printer was installed- back in Windows 3.1 days.

It is interesting in that it is the end the of the 3 ft 6" main line and the main terminal for the 2ft narrow gauge to the interior built around 1908. Also I had a hand in building the extension to the platform, as an apprentice back in 1974. cheers paul posted: 13 Apr 2012 14:49 from: Roger Henry Hi Paul, A South African friend advises as follows.

... last and gauged from the frog and closure rails. To do this, a "reverse image" mirror left/right hand (Ctrl H) template from the Templot design is printed out and the rails installed over that by having bits of wood attached to the template to hold the rails by their heads. Then the lot is soldered together along the exposed rail bases. If you have different methods for building turnouts please let us know, Back to the soldering iron....

Well done in crafting such lovely workmanship, Arthur...those 1.5mm. and 1.75mm. flangeways really do look so much more refined than the gauge-0 standard`s option. Last edited on 24 Dec 2013 20:46 by Debs. posted: 25 Dec 2013 08:55 from: LSWRArt Hi Debs Thanks for the note. Certainly pushing stock through the crossing, I cannot force the wheels to go the wrong way at the nose of the turnout, so hopefully they should run well when wired up. The finer the standard, i think the easier it is to build. Many years ago I built some 00 points and some S4 ones at the same time, and the S4 points always worked, whereas I would often have to re-solder the 00 ones several times to ...
... :20. From about 1970 to 2000, flat-bottom turnouts used vertical rails throughout, not just the V-crossings (and the track gauge was reduced to 1432mm).* below 1:6 the twist is between the B and C chairs.* for 1.9.5 to 1:13 the twist is between the D and E chairs. *** correction. GWR check rails are vertical, and possibly other companies' too. See later in this topic. regards, Martin. posted: 15 Nov 2007 08:52 from: Bruce Boldner Hi Martin, Thanks for your advice. Yes, I did get the information about the rails being vertical through the common crossing from the information sheet supplied with an Exactoscale turnout that I purchased. I'm always happy to be corrected, as I hate to be misinformed. Apart from that one commercial turnout, I have constructed all others on my layout using a home made modified version of a jig designed by Paul Kehoe. This jig was featured in the Scalefour news back around 2002 (I ...

This is 3mm/ft. Hello Nigel Would you say a bit more about this approach? What sort of plastic chair are you using and does this mean you also have the electrical break at the heel? Are there issues/cautions needed when track cleaning? Sounds interesting.

Either a cosmetic approach by cutting a notch in the top of the rail and soldering an etched fishplate both sides. Or (as I do for slips) use one of the Exactoscale cast brass fishplates, soldering it to ...

... is intended mainly for when aligning one map over another. I don't like using it for actual work, because (on my systems at least) it slows down trackpad zooming very significantly, and limits the zooming depth available. Users with gee-whizz graphics cards may not see that. Notice also the option of setting the grid intervals to prototype feet, which can be very useful over background maps and with other prototype dimensions. trackpad> trackpad grid options> menu items. cheers, Martin. posted: 22 Jan 2019 08:47 from: richard_t Hi Martin I do see a difference on my system, I've cropped a bit of the map out, from both the sky-blue default: 499_220342_330000000.png and grey: 499_220342_590000000.png Both at the same zoom, and the track is Scale 7 (just for reference).

... have even been known to run mixed trains without any problems. Surprisingly I find that the track gauge is not critical to good running (within reason) what you have to watch is the back to back measurement of the wheel sets and the check rail gauge; if you get these right the trains will forgive almost everything else. Having said that I am now going to duck for cover!

The drawings enlarge so that detail can be seen. They are very useful for the first-timer as you can see what goes where. The roller type track gauges from C&L will give you check rail spacing as they have grooves for both the running and check rails. For check rail chairs it depends on the type of ordinary chairs you intend to ...
