... topic: 2416 Can anyone assist?- Small Y diagram posted: 4 Mar 2014 12:34 from: Gordon S I've offered to help a friend on this small diorama, but realised it is beyond my capabilities, so wondered if anyone here would like a challenge. He is building a 7mm 'Ivor the Engine' diorama and would like this small section of track to demo his loco. It will be 7mm coarse scale, but the radii may even be outside the realms of Templot. To be honest it's beyond my own capabilities, so wondered if anyone can assist. The straight should be around 700mm and the radii of the curves to the Y in the region of 300mm. I appreciate just how tight these are but wondered if it could be possible? Here's a couple of pics to show what he requires in track terms. Many thanks! image002-2_zpsdcaf1365.jpg image003-3_zpsbd78e568.jpg Last edited on 4 Mar 2014 14:28 by Gordon S posted: 4 Mar 2014 14:01 from: Martin Wynne Hi Gordon, Peter asked me ...
... the next thread)I enjoy building track and hope that when retirement comes along it could be a bit of a part time business, just to keep my mind active after I get my last pay packet. So I would like to build a portfolio of small cameos in case they are needed. With these parts I would like to build a small diorama depicting perhaps a turnout(s) and crossing with plain track along with the apparatus that should be both between (AWS ramps, tiebars, TPWS grids etc)and outside of both rails (Point motors, Ccabinets, trunking etc) I have looked at the sleepers and if I use the ST base plates I may get the cants wrong as it looks like they would be on a downward internal slope, the track clips enclosed are very fine and may hold the rail at the correct angle I may write to Peco and see if they have any info on what both parts are based on. I may also get a packet of C&L Dow Mac sleepers, but I am guessing ...
263. Wide-to-Gauge Traps

This type is simply two ordinary single blade catch points used opposite each other. For normal running both point blades close against the stock rails. While they are open the back of the wheels will jam against the outside of the running rails, possibly causing considerable track damage but bringing the vehicle to a rapid halt and keeping it in line: 800px-WHR_Cae_Pawb_trap_points.jpg CC BY 3.0 Herbert Ortner- Own work More pics: on the right here: http://warwickshirerailways.com/gwr/gwrms1710.htm and on the left here: http://signalboxes.com/beighton-train-depot.php In Templot create a single-blade catch point in the usual way by omitting one of the point blades, and also omit the opposite stock rail.

... : Curved road top left to bottom tight at a radius of 1500mm (curve is like a letter C on its back) 3: Slip top left to top right Hi John, We can't answer that without knowing the crossing angle? 1500mm radius (5ft approx) isn't too severe, so a suitable irregular diamond across a straight should be possible. But to add inside slip roads, the crossing angle can't be less than about 1:6, and preferably longer. For shorter diamonds it is necessary to make it an outside slip instead. regards, Martin. posted: 12 Apr 2013 09:47 from: Hayfield Martin That was very quick, thank you I will try and do a quick Templot file to illustrate the problem I have. Thank you again John posted: 12 Apr 2013 10:30 from: Hayfield I have just attached a quick plan of the proposed slip, I have only at this moment used rails without sleepers just to show the position of the 3 tracks.

... out the plain track layout first and get the clearances right before inserting turnouts into them. I would also advice using the longest turnouts you sensibly can and have used some C switches to improve the radii of the diverging track on the inside of the curve. B-6s are all well and good in their place, but not on the inside of a curve. The Double slips are now all straight as you will stand a better chance of building them than the curved ones you had previously. I have sorted out the outside slip for you but have left most of the timber shoving for you to have a go at. By all means let me have another look at the plan when you have done so and will give it the once over as Timbering is rather more of an art than a science. I hope you like what I have done with it.

I can only imagine how long that took to create, but I think the result is definitely superior to the written word alone.

... available from Mike Sharman when he was producing wheels and I believe Gibson are also providing it today- maybe Ultrascale as well. It is "as near as dammit" the UK S Scale profile and a lot of us have used Sharman 4mm scale "Manchester" wheels with success on S scale track. I suspect that the problem of using smaller scale tyre profiles for larger scale narrow gauge modelling might be that the tyre will not be wide enough- which might offend the eye, but would give a bit more room for outside motion. As an aside, I do like the NZ option of 9mm scale on 0 scale track to represent Cape Gauge- getting nice and meaty in size. Jim. posted: 25 Aug 2014 09:26 from: Matt M.

... on the double slip, has an abrupt change of curvature to cope with as it joins the slip road. I think you might have problems there. Paul Thanks for taking a look. I think you have a very good point about the reverse curve, hadn't thought of that. There is another reverse curve at the start of the bottom left turnout on the scissors crossover as well. Neither is ideal especially when pushing bogie coaches into the platform. Actually a curved double slip is bound to have a reverse curve on the outside slip, maybe that is a good reason to keep the formation straight. I do have a hankering to go for a flowing curve though so maybe I'll have another go. I wonder how the real thing would lay it out? Julian posted: 24 Oct 2014 23:05 from: Tony W Hi Julian. I have now had a better look at your track plan and I am afraid there are several issues that need looking at. Although your design of curved scissors and double slip will work and you have correctly ...
270. tandem turnout
... most welcome Hi Simon, That's looking good. The best solution is not to unstick it from the template, simply trim all round close to the timber ends. But for that to work reliably you need to print on paper thick enough to hold the timber spacings and be left in place under the ballast. I usually suggest 160gsm paper for printed templates, which is almost a thin card. Maybe in 7mm scale you could go even thicker, printer permitting. When sticking the template to the work board, stick it only outside the timbered area, so that after cutting through all round the timber ends it lifts clear. Double-stick tape works well for this. regards, Martin. posted: 5 Jan 2015 20:53 from: Simon Dobson Thx S Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... . The law is not always stupid. If you walk into a farmer's field through an open gate causing no damage, and take a picture of a cabbage, unless he has put up a sign saying "Trespassers must not photograph the cabbages" he would have little chance of taking action against you. Generally a land-owner must prove that your trespass has actually caused him some harm, loss or damage. For example if you published the picture to demonstrate that his cabbages are inferior in quality -- for that stay outside the gate and use a long lens.

Regards, Clive Attachment: attach_2118_2680_Garagio_2015_05_0 3_1403_55.box 215 posted: 3 May 2015 16:05 from: Martin Wynne Hi Clive, Welcome to Templot Club. Crossovers in transition curves do often require a bit of fiddling about to get the best result. The good news however, is that this isn't one. It is entirely contained within the fixed-radius sections outside the transition zones. So you can simply split it off from the transition curves and make an ordinary curved crossover. I will make you a bit of video shortly, showing that. The inside radius on TL089 is showing as 677mm/ 26.7" which I would regard as too sharp for 00-D0GAF in this location. As it is a loco release crossover it is likely to be used by main-line locomotives. Going slow doesn't really make much difference as to whether they will fit the curve (or look ...

Hi Phil, Sure. To select multiple items you can either: 1. click down outside of them and drag a rectangle round them, or 2. hold down the SHIFT key and then click on each one in turn. They will then all show individually selected. To move them all as a group, just drag one of them and the others will follow. But if you want to rotate them, you must first combine them.

Here I have marked those areas in yellow and the essential sections of the check rail in red: 2_202051_230000000.png Outside of that section, the general idea is to use standard components as far as possible, and special one-offs only where unavoidable. At ends A it's unlikely that a bent flare would fit, so your machined flare looks about right. See the photos in the link below. The check rails could perhaps be shortened a bit though, timbers and chairing permitted -- you need rather more clearance for the backs of the wheels on the running rails at A. At B you might fit shortened bent flares, again ...
... with bullhead rail is acceptable to many, especially when painted. But you can't properly fit half-chairs because the rail is flush to the sleeper, unlike when using rivets or Vero pins to lift the rail clear of the sleeper in prototype fashion. regards, Martin. posted: 26 May 2015 21:59 from: Nigel Brown Flangeway chairs: Lay running rail as normal. Pare off inside of chairs where the check rail is to go as much as you dare. Slide more chairs onto check rail. Pare off outside of chairs. Continue until the check rail will fit at the required spacing. Crossing V: I rely on the chairs further along the V to hold the V in position. A thin bit of V-shaped plasticard or similar (e.g. offcut from a slide chair) under the V nose supports the V; I add a dab of slow-setting superglue before laying the V, don't know if its effective but I haven't had trouble. You generally need to trim the outer faces of the chairs on the ...

... I was hoping to avoid four catch points, I must admit! I think I'll get away without them. Stevo posted: 26 Mar 2014 13:29 from: GeoffB Hi All, Watching this thread, I have an 0-Gauge railway loosely based on LNER main line (with an ECML flavour) in the late 30s. I have a main 5 platform through station with one being the bay road. Would this require a trap point? I also have a small country style through station on the main line (outside in the garden section) also with a bay road on the up line and a secondary platfrom opposite on the down line (island platform between the down main line and the secondary line), so effectively 4 platforms. There is also a goods loop accessed at both ends from the secondary down line. Whilst I know that the goods loop would require a trap point what would the others require?

... 2mm Association. The station is 4m long and 1,4m wide. You find some picture e.g. here: http://www.c-martens.de/schut_11/schut_11.html. My station is the one with the roundhouse and the brick buildings. Turnouts are 1:9 and radius not less than 1m. I intend to equip the station to a status of 1916 with poles from Hammerschmidt though the station did not exist anymore from 1876 on. It was too crowded and not expandible, so there was built a new one outside town with 27 tracks. The old Mainbuilding is townhall today, the roundhouse is used as exhibition area. On the old trackbed the main road crosses the town.
