... topic: 2904 "solderless" common crossings posted: 23 Jul 2016 21:17 from: DerekStuart Sorry- another question. I'm really not trying to hijack the forum. I have asked this question of a few people to get a broad range of opinions and can think of no better place to ask than here where the experts gather. Solderless common crossings: Good idea or bad idea? As there are so many different methods, I mean making the vee as normal- bend, file, bend, solder as described by Martin and others throughout the internet (preferably with a bend from vertical to inclined rail- easy after practice). Then the wing rails are added using functional chairs- on the A timber a cut down check rail chair can be used and then these are secured using glue or solvent as normal. I have been warned against this for reasons of longevity. But I have tried alternately baking and freezing a turnout for several days and no sign of deformation or breaking. I have dropped it from a reasonable height etc ...
... by putting run round loop into the help key. Sorry I do not know how to post the link. Alan posted: 20 Oct 2011 20:25 from: Martin Wynne Hi Alan, I think you mean this one: That is a basic run-round loop created with just 2 turnout templates having parallel type V-crossings. That's a simple and quick way to create a loop, but unfortunately you can't insert turnouts in a loop created that way. To do that you need to build the loop with a few more templates. You can either shorten each of those and insert some double-track between them. The turnouts can then be inserted in the double track. Or you can build the loop entirely with separate templates, which allows you also to insert turnouts in the return curves, and/or terminate the loop with crossovers. I will post another bit of video shortly showing how. regards, Martin. posted: 20 Oct 2011 20:32 from: Dr G Alan Gee Thanks for your help Martin. I look ...

What are you trying to do? regards, Martin. posted: 20 Feb 2013 16:14 from: Martin Wynne p.s. Mike, The quickest way to add or remove templates from a group, if you don't want to use the selection fence, is like this (the video may take a few moments to load): Note that you must click on the name label, not the template. Click to toggle the template in to or out of the group. Press the ESC key to exit this mode. regards, Martin. posted: 20 Feb 2013 16:33 from: bainin Thanks, Martin.

324. Templot locks PC
... around 0ft by 0ft and at around 16ft by 8ft. Picture, at clicked location, add shape and browse. Modify shape, transparent, and scale to 16ft wide by mouse action. Main, Program panel then Session, project box title, then enter a name. Session, gauge and scale, S4/P4, OK It's at this point that everything locks up. So far, all I've done is to add a background picture, then I attempted to change from T-55 to P4. There's obviously a few things to try, like not using the default preferences, but can you repeat this, and do you have any specific ideas of what I should try to help you debug this? I'm about to save the background shapes before changing gauge next, but I'll post this first so I don't lose it all in case it crashes again! Edit:- it didn't crash! So, it appears that if I save the background shapes before changing gauge/scale, all is fine. Does that help? Last edited on ...
... - which is one of biggest attractions of the proces. Not to mention wrestling with Templot, which at present I can see is a magnificent tool, but I'm at the start of what appears to be a steep learning curve... Again, thanks for reading this far if you have! -- Phil posted: 27 Jan 2013 22:35 from: Rob Manchester Hi Phil, I have always liked the books on layout design by Iain Rice. If you search Amazon's book section with his name there are a few kits. Realistic Railway Modelling: Layout Design and Approach to Model Railway Layout Design: Finescale in Small Spaces are both excellent in my view and although he fav ours very rural branch lines and light railways much of the information about layout presentation and design is applicable to many layouts. If you can get to a model show where there is a bookdealer you can often have a quick flick though which often gives an idea if the contents are suitable for your taste. I like the 2mm track book too although I model in ...

(Comma for decimal fractions instead of dot.) There is a bug in Templot related to this, but I'm not sure it explains what you are seeing in DoubleCad. Please could you draw a very simple DXF file in DoubleCad on your system and post it here. i.e. just a few straight lines at random. Thanks. The reason it imports into Templot is that Templot ignores all the header stuff on import. 3am here and I'm too tired to write proper English, sorry.

First a couple of lengths of plain track try the curving and transitions then insert a turnout or two in the plain track then make that into a simple crossover etc. Then change the switch and crossing angles etc and before you know it you've got the makings of a layout it might not be what you want to build but you've spent a bit of time and produced something viable. Keep experimenting with the various options available and you will ...
... 52 from: Rob Manchester Hello Arthur, Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I wasn't suggesting removing the continuous run. Just make the current fans of Peco turnouts the start and end of the traverser. You retain the option for running straight through if you wish. Rob posted: 29 Mar 2015 18:30 from: Nigel Brown Hi Arthur Something looks very odd. The 6' way coming out of the the complex seems about 4' or less, for the two middle roads. So I dug out the few Peco O turnouts I had tucked away, and that's what they give you. I think you need to space them so that you get a 6' way; the most obvious way is to stick a bit of plain track between the leading turnout and each of the other two; this will also enable you to avoid sleeper overlaps. That will reduce the effective size of the loops though. posted: 31 Mar 2015 08:47 from: roythebus If you've got room, move the point fan left and replace the ...
... topic: 1695 Extra Multiple B4 Timbers showing. posted: 24 Nov 2011 17:28 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, Sorry to be a pain in the proverbial, but thought I should report this. First let me say, I have noticed this event several times over the last few days, it seems since the last TDV 4505 update. In these instances I just simply kept omitting the timber until all copies of it had gone. In this last instance, just a few minutes ago, I had aligned a turnout template and then did a make branch track, and when the track appeared it had these extra B4 timbers at the peg end (previous events always had the extra B4 timbers at the peg end). (see image file below, this can be seen at full size on the image gallery). Now I say extra timbers because, there are 3 or 4 of these B4 timbers sitting on top of each other, all exhibiting the same timber number, and it takes three or four timber omit ions to ...

I went to read your last two messages, and found I kept getting the message: Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect to 85a.co.uk This was from 17:42 until I have just read your messages at 19:02. Now I tried many times to communicate during this period, however, it could have come back on-line a few minutes earlier than 19:02, as was busy doing some transition curves over the later few minutes.

Cheers Nigel Hi Nigel, Naturally, with half a dozen of us in the broad gauge project all scouring the internet for any information about St Ives Cornwall c1890 we gathered lots of stuff, sadly not all broad gauge nor railway related.

I've had a few goes at it trying to perfect things and so far I have managed to create the double each end, the issue I am having is being able to create a perfect mirror so they can join up with non wonky straights in between. Is there a way to select all the track you want, copy it, mirror it then paste it in? I have managed to select track before but it goes red and there seems to be no option for what I am looking for. Any advice would be appreciated. Transition ...

Hi Paul, Railway Engineering Association A body set up by the railway companies in the UK after the grouping in 1923 to create some common designs out of the assortment of different ideas inherited from the old pre-grouping companies. The REA bullhead track designs were in the main adopted by the LNER, LMS, SR and LPTB (London Underground), each with a few individual details of their own, and lasted until the end of the steam era. The GWR refused to join the party, considering their own existing designs to be superior -- which in many ways they were -- and produced a new range of flexible switches in 1930. BR Western Region carried on with the GWR designs after nationalisation in 1948. regards, Martin. posted: 9 Dec 2011 12:21 from: Tony W Martin Wynne wrote: Paul wrote: so at the risk of further ridicule do I ...
... P4 of Ciliau Aeron just before and maybe after nationalisation. It was classed as a light railway and was home to a small fleet of 74xx Panniers and 14/48xx and autocoach's. There was a combination of Flatbottom and Bullhead since the line was built. However at some point between 48-51 the line through my halt was re-laid with BH. However the line was not re-laid throughout, as the platform road in Aberayron still had both FB and BH including FB turnouts until closure in '65. A few questions: The 1911 board of trade inspection stated the following FB rail 75lb/yd on 9'x10"x5" sleepers, with BH of 80 1/2lb/yd on 9'x9"x4.5" sleepers on curves to GWR standard. Would these sleeper sizes have been maintained until the 50's? At the halt i'm modelling the line was FB through the platform (until 48-51) but there are no photos of the goods loop to the East of the platform until the early 50's. The turnouts in these photos are ...
... topic: 2069 An introduction...and a small plan posted: 4 Oct 2012 14:32 from: Nick-L Good afternoon, First post here, and just thought I'd introduce myself. I returned to modelling a few years back and earlier in the year decided to move to P4. Recent months have been spent reading and starting a few stock conversions etc, but now is the time to get on and build some track work as I'm at the point where I need to run some stock etc. My interests are firmly in the diesel era, and specifically the late BR years (late 80's, early 90's), and I am focusing my modelling on the South Wales freight scene for the most part. Having built the obligatory bits of plain track and so on (utilising C&L components for now) I am ready to get a short 'plank' up and running, and to that end I have started with Templot. The main objective is to get a little more experience with building trackwork and to have something on which ...
... posted: 27 Nov 2017 19:57 from: Rob Manchester Roger, Is the spurious track a background template or the control template? If it is a background template you can just click on it and select delete on the menu that comes up. Changes to the control template can be rolled back from the Do menu. Always a good idea to save your work on a regular basis( Files>Save all templates option) so if you mess up and can't figure out what to do you can get back to a few steps ago.

... station down one side of the room, long enough for full length train formations and a multitrack fiddle yard on the other long wall of the room creating a large 'roundy roundy'. Eventually the short wall opposite to the door will hopefully become a fair sized MPD with the main running tracks under, accessed by a rising gradient behind the station. My plan is to learn to hand build the turnouts on the station board and use peco for the fiddle yard. I am starting track planning now so I can spend the next few months learning to build trackwork and then when the trackplan is completed hopefully produce some turnouts to put in store for the actual build. For the plain track; I am currently leaning towards DCC Concepts 'Legacy' flexi-track. I have spent much of Christmas on the steep learning curve for Templot and have created my first track plan( attached). I know that it is far from perfect having used some crude techniques to fit it together which hopefully can be improved on as my understanding of this fairly complex program increases ...
339. Templot on Linux
... in Wine. I was amazed that it worked first time without any complaints! A quick look shows that it seems to be working fine. I haven't yet installed any printers, so this may still be a problem area though. Are there any known problems I may face as I use it more? I'm using the latest LTS version of Mint (1.8) posted: 15 Feb 2017 23:03 from: Tony W Hi John. There are plenty of us happily using Templot via Wine/ Linux. There are very few problems mostly to do with some of the graphic symbols displaying differently, which we can live with. There is a library of generic printer drivers to suit most needs including some quite old models, like mine, so problems there are unlikely.
