... topic: 1008 Laser Cut Timbering again posted: 10 Jan 2010 06:48 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, Can anybody tell me what the maximum thickness of wood you can cut? I'm looking for around 4mm thickness. Also please, what is the size limitation on panels? Really big project, if it comes off. posted: 10 Jan 2010 11:03 from: Alan Turner If you look on York Modelmaking's web site here: http://www.yorkmodelmaking.com/bespoke.html there is a FAQ which gives details of materials and sizes. the max size seems to be 600 x 900.

... 42 from: Martin Wynne Mark Leigh wrote: I'll let you know the outcome on cost tomorrow. Hi Mark, Thanks. If that's the correct price they could corner the Templot market! One important point. It's essential to tell the printing firm to set "No page scaling" in the printer dialog. This is not the usual default setting, so you need to emphasize this point. Tell the operator at least 3 times. Check afterwards by measuring the 50mm grid lines very carefully. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Sep 2009 17:59 from: JFS Mark, Not sure about your PDF printer but I use PDF995 which is freebie. In that, you can select all sorts of page sizes (upto about 12" x 180" or something) and it comes up with the goods. However Martin, I have come across a different problem and that is that I connot get Templot to print in anything other than B& W. If I select Colour or Grayscale, Templot says that the printer is set to B& ...
... topic: 3757 (L )NER scissor crossing (from NERA book) posted: 6 Sep 2020 00:11 from: DerekStuart SOLVED: Trust me, I've tried. I've really tried. I'm trying to replicate the 1 in 10 scissor from the NERA book. It describes four C10s and from the overall length I have discovered these have no entry straight at all. The basics have been produced by taking a C10 and forming a crossover and then doing the same again for the other angle. So far so good. The book shows the 'centre' Vs as 1:6 and the Ks as 1:5. I have tried every combination I can think of with locating pegs and the notch and then snaking through, including putting the notch in the dead centre, on the intersections between turnout rails etc, even trying as both IR and IC diamonds, but nothing seems to work. Even as an experiment, I used four diamond 1:10 just to make sure it wasn't something odd with the curve of the turnout; using ...
... yet studied it in detail, but two points to make initially -- Why did you set 8ft way as the track centres (52.67mm)? It's not wrong, but you need to have a reason. I think the majority of scissors crossovers would be at the standard 6ft way spacing. That makes the construction clearances rather tight, but on the other hand widening the spacing affects the surrounding track plan. You need a wider spacing of course on sharply curved tracks for vehicle clearance, but this one is only down to 10 chains radius and the standard spacing would be sufficient (that's over 8ft radius in P4). Your method of creating the initial outline produces a non-symmetrical scissors. Again it's not wrong, but I think the majority of scissors crossovers would be symmetrical unless there is an obvious need otherwise. To be symmetrical the CTRL-5 TXP position on all 4 turnouts needs to be coincident at the centre of the diamond. I've written before about creating a scissors crossover, most recently in this topic: Bristol Temple Meads. ...

I have attached a further boxfile incorporating these changes and a couple more. I have upped the turntable diameter to 60', which I think was the correct size, and checked that the spur can indeed accommodate a Seven, which was 58' 10" over buffers. Unfortunately this starts to push the turntable pit too far to the north-west, so that it almost encroaches into the bund which marked the western boundary of this part of the yard. Things are made even more difficult by the fact that the exit crossover from the locomotive spur to Up Main was taken out before closure, making Down Branch the only means of access to the table, with the spur becoming a kickback off the access track from the branch having no other connections. There appears to ...

That's very steep, especially if on a curve. Have you checked that your locomotives will pull a train up 1:30? Model gradients are usually around 1:60 to 1:80 for running lines. The short answer to your question is about 250mm- 10" or roughly the length of a coach as the minimum length for a vertical curve. Here is a diagram from Russ Elliott (with the gradient much exaggerated): vertical-curve.gif Obviously if you have room for a longer vertical curve, so much the better. Especially if you stick with 1:30 gradient.

... siding). However, as I've yet to lay track and everything else is ramrod-straight B6's, I thought this might be an interesting opportunity to re-work them if they fit into the rest of the geometry. Option 1 is to leave them as-is. Option 2 is to replace them with B8 turnouts which works, but neccesitates an S-curve on the carriage road to bring it out to the correct separation (to be honest, this may be required anyway- I gather it would require a 10' way as opposed to the 6' way?) Option 3 is to adjust the geometry with a more 'custom' layout. Option 3 is something that Martin W. suggested using contraflexed (! ?) turnouts to maintain the geometry and spacing, but it's way over my head. I would be grateful for any advice or help- I have attached the plan with Option 2 in-situ, but as long as the top/rearmost track centre of formation A remains at roughly 15 to 16" and formation ...

... photos I have. Once again thanks for Templot. Without this I wouldn't have even attempted this kind of trackwork. The pointwork is a mixture of B6.5s and B7.5s and the tightest radii is iirc 45.7" with the highest coming in around the 85" mark. The tight knitting of the points in the sidings was only possible with handbuilt track, and doesn't actually take up that much room, which is perfect.

It seems you had a good day out with it. I think you may have set some sort of record with the first public showing of a layout in 00-SF. Which is pretty amazing for me to see, after the idea lay dormant for so long. When I added "EM minus 2" to the gauge list in Templot 10 years ago, and called it 00-SF, it was ...
... topic: 2910 Curved Double Junction posted: 8 Aug 2016 17:10 from: leswaters I am currently designing a large O gauge garden railway. It is very nearly there thanks to the fantastic help I have had from this group, However, I am having trouble with one last junction. If you can imagine a double track oval with a minimum radius of 8 feet, I would like to create a double junction off one of the curved ends of the double track. It does not matter what size turnouts or diamonds are required but I am unsure about how the diamond is created. Does it have to be curviform due to the asymmetrical nature of the curves? So far everything I have tried tends to create radii that are smaller than the minimum 8 foot I want to use. Regards Les posted: 9 Aug 2016 12:05 from: Martin Wynne Hi Les, Is the double-junction diverging towards the outside of the oval or towards the inside? If the inside, it will not be possible to have an 8ft radius ...
336. Trackbed edge
... . I will look at doing that for the next update, which I'm hoping to have ready in the next few days. For a typical single track railway, the formation would be 15ft wide between each cess, the cess/drain being 2ft-6in wide on each side, giving a total width of 20ft. These dimensions can vary, the formation may be wider, in which case the bottom of the ballast shoulder may not reach to the edge of the formation. regards, Martin. posted: 18 Oct 2012 10:31 from: Ray Hughes Martin Thanks once again for your response. I've printed off the templates for the whole layout with the trackbed edge marked. I've cut round the templates on this mark, drawn a line around the edge of the cut template. I cut the cork tile underlay to this mark for the fiddle yard where scenery will not be a problem. I just wondered whether anyone had an easy way of marking the other side of the cess on the templates so that they can then be trimmed again in ...

... very complicated junction across six tracks and to its right to a pair of platforms which are in turn connected to two other pairs, the tracks of which are tied together through five double slips. If I changed the centres here, everything else would be thrown off. I have to find a way to timber this crossing as is. Regards Alan posted: 2 Aug 2011 21:48 from: Jim Guthrie Alan, The other option might be to change the angle of your crossings. I note you are using 1:10 RAM. When I reduce that to 1:9.75 the crossing nose seems to move enough to allow easier timber placement- that's if you're not wedded to 1:10.
