301. Trackbed edge
... that the cork underlay can be cut to the narrower profile. Would I be better cutting the cork initially to the wider profile and where appropriate trimming it down from that, rather than mucking about with the templates? That said, the templates would then overhang the cork so perhaps that isn't a good idea. A halfway house idea could be to provide an option to print a cess edge line but leave the user to decide where this should be relative to the trackbed edge and even provide them with the option to set it outside the trackbed edge should they so desire. posted: 18 Oct 2012 10:49 from: Martin Wynne Hi Ray, If you can wait a day or two for the next update, I'm making some changes: 2_180544_580000001.png 2_180544_570000000.png regards, Martin. posted: 18 Oct 2012 10:57 from: Ray Hughes That would be brilliant.

... the name in the box, click the modify shape tab, click the change... button, and press ENTER 3 times. How intuitive is that? Martin. posted: 23 Nov 2012 22:26 from: Paul Boyd Hi Martin Thanks! But I think that's the first time anyone has ever mentioned using label shapes. Do you find them useful? Yup- they're great for reminders on the build template, especially for complex formations. A plain turnout might just have B8, but an assymetrical irregular diamond with outside slip (to take a random example that I've just built!) might have all sorts of things like C switch, B switch, V10, K1.85-V1.86 scattered about. It just means that the info is right there under my nose whilst I'm building. I've even used them for odd notes like cut back check rail. Usually the templates are renamed as something else once the shape is there. How did you guess that I'm coding anyway? Oh, just intuition You can also edit the text of a label ...
... rail to the centre of the post. Assuming you have the required minimum spacing of 10ft way (15'-2" centres) for loops and sidings adjacent to double-track, I think you can safely place a signal post in the middle of that space. regards, Martin. Hi Martin Thanks for your reply. I obtained the 5' 1" minimum dimension from Pictorial record of Southern Signals by G. Pryer, page 35. This dimension is between the track side of the signal post, to the outside edge of the nearest running rail. I feel really embarrassed at having posted the layout plan without taking into account the multiple track spacing. I used the default. I had intended to use the Scalescenes Overall roof to cover the main station area but with expanding the space for 10' ways I shall run out of space between the platform faces. Two solutions to this would be to reduce the terminus to 3 tracks (but this would loose the operational interest) or, to retain the 4 tracks and replace the walls ...
304. TORG
... topic: 2155 TORG posted: 7 Feb 2013 12:04 from: stuart1600 Wasn't sure quite where to post this- I'm not quite a beginner, but definitely baffled by this one... After looking again at Martin's short video about outside slips to remind myself about the process, I thought I would try this out on a plan I'm working on. But I hit a snag. When I try to move the peg to the TORG position before storing the template the TORG option in the drop down box is greyed out. Except, if the turnout is straight then TORG is available; but always greyed out for turnouts in curved track. Have I inadvertently altered some setting that causes this? I'm sure I've played around with the same configuration before and had no problem with replicating what was in Martin's video- unfortunately that work has disappeared into the black hole labelled "inadequately saved/backed-up files". I've attached the box file with straight and curved turnouts in the hope that someone may be able to see what the problem ...

306. Single slip angles
... in practice there is no upper limit, you can add slip roads to a very long switch-diamond if you wish. Here is an excellent picture from Mick Nicholson showing a flat-bottom double-slip with movable K-crossings: fb_movablek_dslip.jpg© thanks to Mick Nicholson At the lower end of the scale, 1:7 is usually the bottom limit for inside slips on the prototype. 1:6 is possible, but the radius is tight and normally found only in sidings. Generally below about 1:7, outside slips are used instead. regards, Martin. posted: 15 Feb 2013 18:49 from: LSWRArt Thanks Martin for the usual prompt response. I will try to see if 1:7 will fit. Do you have any idea when moveble K-crossings were first introduced on British railways? I model c. 1912 and I have always assumed that these were a relatively modern (post WW2?) invention?

307. Joggles
... modellers so we can use a version where most of the foot of the stock rail is filed away in a simple taper and the switch has a matching taper. Regards Geoff posted: 12 Mar 2013 12:13 from: Phil O Hi Julia "Joggle" is a standard engineering term where a double set is introduced into the metal whether it be sheet, bar or section. When I worked in the dockyard as a boilermaker we used joggles in sheet or plate trunking and ducting to allow one piece to slide inside or outside the next section.

... really see the impact and effect of the solution(?) I'll look forward to seeing the dual gauge tutorial- it should be interesting to see how it should be done rather than muddling through until something fits Thanks again Steve posted: 18 Feb 2014 18:41 from: Martin Wynne Hi Steve, Sorry to raise another problem with your design. There is no checking at A to prevent narrow-gauge wheels travelling from right to left from hitting the nose of the vee at B. As this vee is on the outside of a curve, a check rail is essential: 2_181336_310000000.png And travelling in the trailing direction they will bump against the check rail knuckle. If you want this turnout to use a common switch, the only solution is to change the size of the underlying turnout. regards, Martin. posted: 19 Feb 2014 00:16 from: Steve Bedding Hi Martin, Thanks for your eagle-eyes......there's no such thing as a problem- just another challenge to overcome... I can see exactly ...
