Lovely, thank you. posted: 7 May 2020 08:56 from: Phil O Hi Richard "My previous question whether the BC timber can be slewed was a daft one. Of course it can as long as the bolts still have enough timber around them to secure." If push came to shove, you could use a 14 inch timber, to give you a bit more space to play with. Wider trimbers were used in exceptional circumstances, the most usual were in diamond crossings. Cheers Phil posted: 13 May 2020 23:43 from: Richard Brummitt I've ...

... bit sharp in the sidings, but then they were of course. The loco's of the period were of short wheelbase so going to and from the shed (the track plan needs a shed pilot) shouldn't be a problem. Anyway, there it is. All comments/suggestions welcome.

Thank goodness I keep saving it as I can then back-track! However, I have found that If I replace the regular V crossing with a generic one of the same value in the two yard turnouts I can gain several valuable extra inches in the turnout's nominal radius without changing anything else. I've no idea whether it's prototypical- but it is ...
... topic: 3666 Double Slip- switch blade on printout posted: 13 May 2020 08:54 from: Alan Kettlewell Hello, Having made about a dozen 0-EM turnouts now for my layout it's time to have a go at my first double slip. I was wondering how to arrange the printout so the outer switch blades show correctly inside the stock rail. 2165_130354_110000000.png Grateful for advice on this. Cheers Alan posted: 13 May 2020 08:55 from: Alan Kettlewell er.. that should read 0-MF! posted: 13 May 2020 11:27 from: Martin Wynne Hi Alan, Fix them all with one click: 2_130624_480000000.png If you do any further work on the slips, shoving timbers etc., you will need to do it again. So this is one of those jobs which you leave to last. cheers, Martin. posted: 13 May 2020 11:38 from: Alan Kettlewell Brilliant, sorted. Many thanks indeed. As the blades on these are quite short, is it necessary to make them hinged ...
284. Track bed Width
... vehicles clashing. I've only just appreciated that the track bed width is a function of the track centres and changes as the track centres change. Setting trackbed width at 90mm gives an overall width of 140mm when using 50mm track centres. Reducing that to 44.67mm track centres now means the trackbed is only 134.67mm wide. When building an 'open plan' layout with dedicated trackbed rather than a flat baseboard, it would be useful to set double track trackbed as a fixed dimension for continuity purposes throughout the layout. posted: 18 Jan 2016 08:25 from: Martin Wynne Gordon S wrote: I've only just appreciated that the track bed width is a function of the track centres and changes as the track centres change.

... topic: 113 ADMIN: New Templot Pug 091b posted: 19 Jul 2007 08:53 from: Martin Wynne Dear all, There is a new Templot Pug version 091b available for downloading if you would like to try it. (Pug= Pilot UpGrade) It's now several months since 091a, which was the first version using the later compiler. 091a has proved to be stable, so this new version 091b has reverted to installing in your C:TEMPLOT folder, so using your existing launch shortcuts and replacing your previous Templot version there. (091a installed in its own C:TEMPLOT_PUG_09 folder.) However, it's still a change of compiler from 082d and earlier, so please make backup copies of your important Templot data files before overwriting them using 091b. Here's the download link: http://www.templot.com/tug/templot_pug_091c_setup.exe [revised for 091c] What's new in 091b? Here's a brief list. I will update the web site with more details shortly: Multiple monitors are now supported. There is an extra dialog during startup with ...

287. Templot GUI Control
... a Windows computer, but it isn't really a "Windows Program" and never has been. It does its own thing in its own way, mostly for very good reasons. Changing it now would be another 5 years and another blank sheet. It's proving time-consuming enough to make progress with what we already have, without starting again at the beginning. So I simply repeat -- please everyone -- do not install Templot in the \Program Files\ folder. regards, Martin. posted: 18 Dec 2010 08:25 from: John Clutterbuck Martin Wynne wrote Can the keyboard problem not be solved by plugging in a PC USB keyboard? They are quite inexpensive. This wouldn't really solve all the problems as many of the command sequences and function keys operate native Mac OS commands (and to be honest that's the way I like it). However, I think this misses the point. I could never remember the shortcuts anyway and hunting the menus for what can be done is frustrating and time consuming. I just want to have ...
... pointers. First one.... How do you create a simple loop in a curved track without crossing points? Second one.... How do you make a simple siding off the running line without using "return curve", as this doesn't seem to work in extending a sidding at a different angle to the main line. Maybe it's my age and not understanding all of the tuturials. However, help for the simple things is needed... Please.

... this: 2_170012_360000001.png Experienced users will never have any reason to click it, but it will reassure new users who often ask how to "delete" the control template. On the other hand I think a "one-click" tool button to do "store& background" would be handy for everyone, so I have added that also: 2_170012_360000000.png This also now has the INSERT key as a single-key shortcut (in addition to the existing CTRL-V). regards, Martin. posted: 17 Nov 2010 08:39 from: Alan Turner Are you sure about this? Wouldn't it be better for the "Z" button to emulate the HOME key in hiding the control template? I've always regarded this as the delete key for the Control Template i.e. delete from view.

As for the original problem, try opening Norton, click on "settings" then "Antivirus"; my Norton has "Tracking Cookies Scan" set to "Ask Me".

My question is- knowing all this, is there something I can do with this slip to increase the size to something more realistic? Is there a way to ease the curvature of the diverging roads?

... topic: 3698 Curved track work and turnouts within curved track posted: 14 Jun 2020 08:24 from: Graham Long HiI am trying to get my head around some concepts related to curved track and turnouts within curved track. 1. I am designing a branchline terminus. I am not sure if I need to worry about transition curves. Are transitions only used where running speeds are much higher? 2. Does all curved track on lines running need cant regardless of it being either fixed radius or transition? 3. I read that turnout's arn't prototypical in the transition curve. Does this mean that all turnouts must be totally outside the area of transtion? posted: 14 Jun 2020 12:22 from: Martin Wynne Hi Graham, Are you asking about prototype or model? On the prototype, full mathematical transition curves are used only on fast main lines. They would always be provided with cant, the transition providing a length in which to ramp up the cant and then ramp back down to level track. For branch lines, it would ...

298. Knapford Junction
... away with those double junctions at each extremity. What I have found though is that one of the locations I have always wanted to model is a yard with a rough fiddle type layout so I have been creating that and this instead will technically serve as another layout in a way. It's compromise either way but this seems good to me as I don't have to have a masd of Plywood staring at me unmodelled- something I see as a waste when space is at a premium.
