... don't have a photo of a delta crossover but there is one in the Train Hobby books taken at Everton. I do have a model of the rarer reversed version of a delta as per the link. There was one of these in 1964 right on the main Melbourne Adelaide line at Dimboola, photo of prototype is in the Train Hobby books again. Mark Bau's VR web site has the Permanent Way Correspondence Course Book 2 which includes all I know about deltas including drawings. http://www.victorianrailways.net/infastuct/infastructhome.html Mark Attachment: attach_1575_2188_P5231568.jpg 298 posted: 5 Apr 2013 06:59 from: Matt M. Thanks for the link Mark. Course Book 2 was very informative. So far haven't seen anything like the Delta in the NSWGR permanent-way books up to 1930's. Matt M. posted: 6 Jun 2019 09:57 from: Laidlaym I am trying upload drawings of NSWGR turnouts but they are PDFs rather than images, is email an option?

282. Zoom on print map
... a lot and sometimes I just want a crossover plus a few inches of the approach/exit track. I find it quite difficult to actually see where the crossover is on the map. Here's a pic. but of course it is larger than the normal screen size, so doesn't look as bad. Is there an issue with upload images? I followed the route and it started the upload, but nothing happened. It's a 557KB jpeg image and I waited four minutes.... I now added it as an attachment. The page preview helps, but that's much larger and I have to check each page individually. I'm sure there is a way to zoom in on the print map so I can select the three or for pages required, but haven't found one yet. Grateful for any pointers....

All of which are non standard and will require me learning a new process. Its to P4 standards. If anyone can point out any glaring issues, or tips I would be very pleased, but these are all areas I should be now mastering as I have used Templot for less complicated items for some time. Got a feeling this will take me some time. Attachment: attach_2299_2887_Ludgate_Hill_stat ion3_A2.box 222 posted: 8 Jun 2016 11:36 from: rodney_hills Hello Hayfield, What plan did you use as a basis?

... topic: 2441 Two New Permanent Way Books from the LNWR Society. posted: 11 Apr 2014 17:11 from: Brian Nicholls Hi All, I would just like to advise you, that the LNWR society are about to launch two permanent way track books. See cover images below. I am sure that such books have been long awaited by many a railway modeller. I am not quite sure of the pricing details yet, but will let you all know as soon as I am made aware of this. I have attached a PDF file which contains an edited version of the item which will appear in the next LNWRS news letter, this being a precise of the books contents. By the way, I have no financial interest in the two books, as all proceeds go to the LNWRS, just the privilege, pleasure and satisfaction of having the been able to accomplish producing useful documents. All the best.

... you could see the sleepers clearly. Regards, Matt M. posted: 19 Apr 2016 19:58 from: mikewturner Hi guys I must admit I have always assumed this photo to be of track work in the goods yard at Winsford on the WCML not at Over and Wharton. There are several stone block sleepers on the up end of the down platform at Winsford and at one time there was a sign saying they had been uncovered during renewal work (I think). The engine shed at Over as shown in the attached image is similar to the building in the original shot but is panelled so not the same one. Also the track plan doesn't seem to match the available OS maps. Regards Mike Attachment: attach_2258_2870_image.jpg 996 posted: 19 Apr 2016 22:28 from: Matt M. Hi Mike, That makes sense.

... shunt I have attempted 'shoving' of timbers on the turnouts at the ends of the run around (only) This appears to be more art than science. It's so tempting to put huge long timbers across multiple tracks. I may have been unrealistic with length here. 3620_161723_240000000.png I will post version 2 shortly with the double slip in the middle (I cant see a way of inserting it without re-drawing the whole thing from scratch) but would appreciate any thoughts, observations or comments as it stands.

... the underlying template- but it's obvious that the control template is not aligned over the background template(s) at all and adjusting it's radius is not going to alter that. But there is no mention of needing to use F8 to rotate the template to get an alignment- which is what leads me to conclude that I must have gone astray somewhere. What am I doing wrong, or misunderstanding here? I'm sure there must be a simple explanation, but despite no end of playing around it still eludes me. I've attached the box file with the three templates as they appear after "pegging onto notch". I shall be very grateful if someone can explain what it is that I've got wrong in this process- but I will feel very guilty if someone spends their valuable time producing a nicely finished set of templates for me- I really do need to learn how to do this correctly myself. Appreciate any help with this. Kind regards, Stuart Attachment: attach_1633_2273_tandemturnout.box 220 posted: 27 Jul 2013 16:35 from: Martin Wynne Hi ...

A couple of points: 2_191341_580000000.png There isn't room for wheel flanges on the running rail at A. To be safe in 00 you need about 2 rail-widths clearance, or maybe a bit less in EM/00-SF. Shorten the flare length and/or rail length and/or change to a machined flare on this check rail end to clear: 2_191353_230000000.png The same applies to some extent at B, although just shortening the length a little should be enough. regards, Martin. posted: 19 Feb 2014 22:42 from: Trevor Walling Hello, I had a bit of difficulty ...

291. Outside Single Slip
... to lump all the templates together into a single group. I've made the check and wing rail ends match the paper template although it looks horrible! When you come to build the formation, watch the K-crossing check rail clearance against the slip road- there isn't any on the template! I would be inclined to shorten that check rail by a timber spacing at each end. If you don't already know this, you'll need to learn how to handle groups of templates. You can always ask here! Hope this helps Attachment: attach_1701_2369_outside_slip_em_2 014_01_01_1458_43.box 357 posted: 1 Jan 2014 15:57 from: Michael Woolford Many thanks for that Paul, I hope it wasn't too much trouble. What was the benefit of increasing the centre crossings to 1 in 7.5? I realise that it gives a shallower radius to the slip road but looking at it that seems to be the reason for the K-crossing check rail fouling on the wing rail. I've put a cropped photo of part of the manually planned trackwork. The formation will be for very slow ...
... topic: 3013 Make a crossover from straight to curved track posted: 16 Apr 2017 11:36 from: Panos Tsirigotis Hello there. Although I am about to complete my track plan (with all the imperfections it has), there is a specific spot marked with a red cirlce in the attached screenshot which I cannot bridge. It is a crossover from straight to curved track. My problem is that I want to insert a curved turnout with it's curvature oriented at the track's curve (If you know what I mean). It seems that the inserted turnout in the curved track has an opposite curvature. (Or there is an optical illusion?) .Is there any other shortcut to make this crossover? thank you in advance Attachment: attach_2416_3013_Crossover_2.jpg 308 posted: 16 Apr 2017 12:08 from: Tony W Hi Panos.

... Linkage with data_child_form reduced/simplified. math_unit.pas The entire code around formatting strings for a switch (show_switch_info) is moved to the data_child form switch_select.lfm New area 'switch_info' (Tmemo) added to take over from data_child_form in displaying switch data. Also a new button to copy the text of the switch_info field to the clipboard. switch_select.pas Three new procedures- resize_big- resize_small, and- show_switch_info Again, the changing of the data and the resizing of the form are split to help clarity and give better control over events Anyway, code attached below.

... want to introduce myself. I am Panos from Greece and I am an N scale railway modeller. I am currently modelling a prototype railway station in Greece and I op to handlay track. Although prototype track plans does not include curved turnouts (it was once the greek railway practise to use straight turnouts in yards and stations due to low contruction cost, and straight turnouts were pre assempled and set in place just like the RTR turnouts), I definately want the software's assistance on custom diamond crossings and easyments in curves. I attach a drawing of my track plan that is based on the prototype. I draw this track plan using Adobe illustrator I have a lot of queries regarding drawing in Templot. Truth is that begun to draw the plan but get stuck during the process. Hope that through the assistance of club members I complete my plan and start lay down trackwork. P.S. Forgive my english.

The problem i have building point work to connect between existing tracks. the GIMI seems ideal but i'm not clear if the software will cope with such a large gauge? has anyone any experience if this? i have already produced the first point and GIMP looks like a good possibility.3328_051628_350000000 .jpg Attachment: attach_2381_2979_file1.jpeg 309 posted: 6 Feb 2017 09:47 from: Nigel Fisher Bill A friend and I have used Templot successfully at 5inch gauge for both turnouts and (as in the photo, seen during a test fit) a tandem.

... , switch tip at edge of surface, and attack it with any reasonable file to hand, until I get something similar to the switch profile on the template. Works fine; you don't necessarily need any sophisticated tools or jigs. Having said that, if I saw the need for a lot of turnouts coming up, I could be interested in the odd jig. posted: 4 Apr 2011 20:13 from: allanferguson In light of recent discussion regarding the filing of crossing vees I thought I might add my tuppenceworth.

... topic: 1388 Rhyl, east throat in EM posted: 24 Feb 2011 20:47 from: geoff A share and show. I lasted posted something in 2010 in P4 while I was exploring feasibility and gaining confidence in my OS1250 map. Paul Boyd pointed out quite correctly that to get a layout of this complexity in EM would require a re-draw. So this is the EM version, work-in-progress. I shall attach the map as a bit-map after this. The copyright date was 1960, so to respect the 40-year rule I couldn't attach it last year. Now it's 2011.... The area which caused the greatest headache was/is the sort-of scissors affair in the bottom-left quarter. Particularly with regard to check-railing on one of the turnouts. This is one of those instances of a tricky layout which was probably a challenge in full-size; and where P4 is better off than EM.
