261. GER Double Slip 1:7
... topic: 913 GER Double Slip 1:7 posted: 29 Jul 2009 08:16 from: Martin Wynne I have scanned this drawing in response to a request on RMweb: http://rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p =730101#p730101 2_290310_180000000.jpg Great Eastern Railway -- 1:7 Double Slip (You can see the original scan in full detail by viewing this image in the Image Gallery and clicking the "original size" link.) regards, Martin. posted: 24 Feb 2020 08:45 from: Keith Newton Hello I am modelling a Midland Railway c1900 Double slip and from signal box diagrams I have seen, the stretcher bars are indeed connected together at each end so there are 2 levers in the SB to control the double slip. I have built the DS in 7mm scale and have 2 rods (at each end) connected to the 2 stretcher bars as in the diagram posted. I would like to understand how these two rods are connected back to the SB. I assume that there would be 2 ...

... . All other similar PDF generators work fine in Templot and in colour. There are dozens of them to choose from. Win2PDF has proved to be one of the best. The extra page can be turned over and put back in the printer. Or you can buy the paid-for version, of course. Everything will be solved soon when Templot can create its own colour PDFs to any size you like, as demonstrated in the ones I did that way for Mark. regards, Martin. posted: 12 Sep 2009 08:18 from: JFS Hi Martin, It seems that this 'bug' is quite widespread- I just downloaded both PrimoPDF and CutePDF and they both exhibit the same problem- perhaps they are actually the same engine rebadged. So all this proves there is no such thing as "free" software, but all the same, paying 20 quid for a print driver does seem a bit steep, but does remind us that Templot is pretty good value for money. So really looking forward to the "built-in" ...

... topic: 2683 Irish 3ft Gauge track posted: 8 May 2015 16:16 from: Ian Bunch Does anybody have any information on the dimensions of Irish 3ft narrow gauge track? Specifically sleeper dimensions and spacing. A templot box file perhaps. Not really bothered about the scale, just something I can get accurate sizes from. I've tried guessing from photos but I'd prefer to know for sure. Thanks in advance Ian posted: 12 May 2015 08:48 from: Phil O Hi Ian I have asked this question on here and several other forums and have never got an answer. What I have in my round tuit box is some photo's of some Isle of Man turnouts which need sorting and trying to turn into a template. I think this will be the only way to get any info on 3ft trackwork. The preserved railways in Ireland are using recycled standard gauge (5ft 3 ins)componets regauged to 3 foot. The Ilse of Man being the only source that i know of that still has original 3 ft track, I just hope ...

268. Half-scissors in P4
... Phil, your formation isn't actually an outside slip -- the usual meaning of a slip requires the rail to pass inside the diamond. The usual term for what you have there is a "half-scissors". The side road is completely clear of the diamond, and if there was a similar road on the other side it would be possible for both side roads to be occupied simultaneously. That isn't possible for a (double) outside slip, like this: double_outslip.jpg regards, Martin. posted: 18 May 2009 08:33 from: philchudley Thanks guys for the very prompt and informative feed back, thanks Martin for the clarification. The photo is exactly what I had in mind althought only a half scissiors version. Will apply the ideas and suggestions and post the results when finished. Cheers Phil posted: 18 May 2009 10:09 from: Alan McMillan Hi Phil I've taken the liberty of tidying up your formation. Hope this works for you.

Cheers Dave posted: 26 Oct 2009 08:24 from: Jamie92208 The simple way that I did it was to print out a short section of the curve then make a template out of cardboard the same length and width of my longest vehicle. 2 small holes at the bogie centres and then put that on the template track centre lines. It showed me the throwover needed. I then added 5mm on for good measure. This seems to work. Jamie posted: 26 Oct 2009 08:51 from: Dave Summers Thanks for the suggestion Jamie. That empirical ...
270. Track gauge query
... the only need for it, I would think, would be in S4. [I suspect S4 is a lot easier than people suppose (I reckon the BB window could be just as wide as officially in P4, 0.08mm) and track would be that much easier with a 45mm triangular tool.] The other main thing about the triangular tool is you don't need to know the track radius (except as agreed above)- but of course Templot users always do know the radius! Cheers Julian posted: 11 Nov 2020 08:14 from: Hayfield Julian The gauges referred to as C&L are actually Exactoscale. 4XX TG01 are the gauge widened set 4XX TG02 are the standard set What I do to start off with is to have a standard roller gauge at one or both ends, simply to hold the rail whilst the first few chairs set If building chaired track (this includes 3 point gauges), these gauges must be plastic chair compliant, which allows the head of the rail to rotate in the slot.

271. Servos for Turnouts
... bounce- for proposed signals on the new layout. However I am over endowed with ancient H&Ms that work well with a single wire connection via a Roger Amos circuit from one of his books. So the added expense of equipping some 30 sets of points doesn't seem cost-effective. [Having been lightly flamed on another thread for admitting that I still use copper clad sleepers, I anticipate that my use of H&Ms will be seen as so last century!] Donald posted: 25 Nov 2009 20:08 from: Brian Lewis Have a care Donald. One more antideluvian admission like this and the Natural History Museum will haul you in as a prize exhibit.... Actually, I was grateful for the link to that signal control system, for I did not know about it. Having sold Llaniog at the NEC last weekend I am now without a layout, so am receptive to new ideas to be incorporated into planning my next- and last, effort. I have always wanted to model Oxford, but at fifty ...

The data for several templates has been replaced with what seems to be a list of GWR signal boxes??? So I've removed it from your message here on Templot Club. I will post a cleaned-up version later. At present I don't know whether this corruption occurred before you posted it, or while uploading it from your system, or within the Templot ...
... Tracks has just let me know they are happy to cut 7mm sleepers and crossing timbers from thin ply. They aren't listed but if the 3mm version is ordered and a note added to the order they can be cut from the thinner material in 2-3 days. Thanks Brian and thanks to Martin for the input. Rob P.S. A nice lady at Slater's tells me theirs are 1/16th inch thick and are sawn but the edges are smooth so may have also been suitable. posted: 20 Feb 2015 13:08 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, That's useful to know for the future. Fortunately I think I have enough 1.6mm to hand for the current project. posted: 17 May 2015 08:16 from: Hayfield Rob Sorry system will not let me send a PM, the club I belong to may have some surplus 7 mm Exactoscale sleepers and timbers, are you still interested, if so I can ask the question if they are available posted: 18 May 2015 14:03 from: Rob Manchester Hi John, Thanks for ...
... few. I just buy the additional chairs as and when I run out, but if you are making one or two turnouts is it worth buying a pack? You could always sell the surplus off afterwards To summarise, currently copperclad construction is the cheapest building method (but these costings will increase in the very near future). Using ply timbers will save a bit but when compared to a RTR turnout and hand built one will cost a similar amount or less depending on materials and method used Last edited on 30 May 2015 08:14 by Hayfield posted: 30 May 2015 08:00 from: Hayfield madscientist wrote: Indeed cost is a fsctor, with 40 turnouts and a fiddle yard to boot, costs mount up. Whats intersting ,with the price rises on copperclad and the availability issues, ply might end up the dominant proces The practice years ago was to miss out timbers in a turnout in the fiddle yards, sometimes only leaving 1 in every 3, this will reduce the costings further posted: 1 Jun 2015 13:40 from ...

Brian, I'll email you with details. posted: 13 Jan 2010 07:09 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, I'm also looking into the potential costs of having special chairs for code 205 FB rail made. Quantity 60,000 in all but not all in one go! Question is material? I presume that the number involved is insufficient for injection moulding but rather too large for whitemetal casting.

I presume that the number involved is insufficient for injection moulding but rather too large for whitemetal casting. Anybody any ideas please? The UK S scale Association has just had new plastic chairs produced to replace our old white metal castings and I think we only required about 15000 on our first order to make the unit cost acceptable and to cover the complete development cost. The major cost was the tool itself and it will be available for further runs ...

... at keeping the rails aligned and level that the joints required less maintenance, even with the joint sleepers further apart. Wider joint chairs are used on the end sleepers, so that the rail is supported as close to the joint as possible. (4mm joint chairs are now available from C&L.) Flat-bottom track is different, in that fishplates can be fitted over some types of rail fixings, rather than needing to be between them as for chaired bullhead. cheers, Martin. posted: 23 Jul 2020 08:11 from: Phil O I assume that this type of joint is only possible with machine packing, I think it might be somewhat problematic with traditional bar packing. Cheers Phil posted: 26 Jul 2020 08:03 from: Julian Roberts Hi Martin Apoligies for slow pace of this train of thought.

... not be less than 15.2mm on the track. From the drawing you should be able to derive plain 16.2mm roller track gauge tools quite easily. As far as I know, only Brian has the 3-point gauge tool drawing. The tool diameter should be as small as convenient. Ideally it should fit between adjacent timbers, allowing soldering to take place on both sides. If you are planning constructing complex formations, it is worth milling flats on each side for better access. regards, Martin. posted: 3 Sep 2015 08:45 from: madscientist Thanks.

(1 in 5.05 CLM) The only real difference I can see is the one inserted in the circle says the total angular swing on this template is 0 degrees, whilst the one inserted in the straight says the the total angular swing on this template= [- 13.22] degrees ([ -1 in 4.26] RAM) (in main road) Last edited on 9 Feb 2011 07:59 by Gordon S 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, ...
... topic: 2861 Background Shapes colour posted: 17 Mar 2016 08:09 from: PaulTownsend An existing file of shapes has colours all very pale yellow so the lines are barely visible after adding a picture. I have tried changing the shapes colour but it doesn't seem to work, although the line thickness switch works, and any individual shape selected appears in red I am sure I have done this before successfully, what am I doing wrong? Last edited on 17 Mar 2016 08:12 by PaulTownsend posted: 17 Mar 2016 10:00 from: PaulTownsend I found the inhibition to change shapes colour is connected with the fact that the imported picture has a frame that is in itself a shape and much larger than the picture. That shape gains the new colour requested. So it seems the picture frame suppresses colour change of other shapes behind it, which is a shame. posted: 17 Mar 2016 12:15 from: Martin Wynne PaulTownsend wrote: So it seems the picture frame suppresses colour change of other shapes behind it, which is ...
