361. RH_Curved tandem

Shove the timbers so that all three V-crossings are properly chaired and supported. There is an example tandem-turnout which you can download and take apart at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/templot/files/martin_stuff/3_way_tandem_EM.box Notes for this file: Example 3-Way Tandem Turnouts on 10 chains radius in EM gauge. B-8 Left+ A-6 Right, the middle V-crossing (crotch frog) is 1:4.95 RAM (1 :5 CLM). Intended for version 0.78.e, but in 0.74.b it will print ok with only minor discrepancies. You can see this particular tandem turnout in lovely 3D at: hc_tc8.jpg (Make sure you are viewing it full-size to get the best effect.) regards, Martin. -- -- -- -- -- - ...

I can only see LNWR 6 wheels 30ft coaches being the longest on the layout Might need to move everything around to the right ie along the single track. I increased the centre on the double out to 90mm in case longer coaches appear. Could shorten the Platform. Murry posted: 12 Jan 2014 10:12 from: Martin Wynne Hi Murry, Thanks for uploading your plan. It's looking good. The crossover on the left TR084/ TR107 is using D-7 turnouts. That's a rather unusual size combination, leading to an unnecessarily tight inner radius of 1367mm (53.8") on TR084. If you change TR084 to say C-9, that radius will increase to 1830mm (72.1"). You could then make TR107 a C-9 or B-9, and the overall length of the crossover ...

If you want a template with American timbering, rail sizes, adjacent track spacings, etc., it is still necessary to create a custom library template. regards, Martin. posted: 25 Oct 2014 11:10 from: Martin Wynne Hayfield wrote: ...

You can then shift the group to wherever you want it by putting the notch under the peg at the required destination. i.e. repeat the above on the destination template (which is not a member of the group).

... 27 Sep 2015 08:24 from: Hayfield If you look back at track products from the early 50's, 00 gauge systems were closer to 4 mm scale, than now which is closer to 3.5 mm scale. Peco spiked track, GEM, Formway and ABC. Somehow 00 track merged with H0, a totally backward step The other item to consider is the finer standards that loco's and stock is now built to, allowing in some cases for the wheels to be re-set to EM gauge posted: 29 Sep 2015 10:28 from: Jim S-W Martin Wynne wrote: madscientist wrote: Sorry you are suggesting it's not possible to produce H0 models of British locomotives !! !!

TWAIN acquisition from the scanner turned out to be easier than I expected, thanks to a component from Roberto Zarrelli. This option means Templot can get the DPI directly from the scanner without asking the user. It should be handy for quick imports of scanned layout sketches, etc., without needing the saving and opening of image files. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Nov 2015 17:57 from: Alan Turner Martin Wynne wrote: Hi John, Thanks for the reply. ...

... an irregular half-diamond template instead of a turnout template? That such a Y-turnout is entirely different from an ordinary turnout having contraflexure, which on the prototype is far more common as an apparent Y-turnout than a rare symmetrical turnout? A full explanation needs several pages of notes and diagrams. But I will now remove the original symmetrical Y-turnout tutorial dating from 2001 and make a new video. It will take me far longer to do than the actual coding change. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Mar 2017 12:39 from: Hayfield Martin This has gone completely over my head, I have been asked to make a plan to copy a Peco small Radius Y turnout.

... not via the station. I found an article in which Paul Hurley says that the LNWR used stone blocks experimentally instead of sleepers, so can anyone else support this statement, or were these simply old tramway blocks being re-used at this site? Using stone blocks seems a very strange way to lay track. There is nothing to stop the track spreading. This might have not been much of a problem for 3 ton wagons hauled by a horse at walking pace, but it would seem much more risky with 8 and 10 ton wagons and loco haulage, even in a siding. Another interesting point in the photo is the apparent absence of fishplates. It looks as if the rail joint simply rests in the bullhead chair (look at the third chair from the camera). With expansion, contraction and locos braking, wouldn't the rail move and risk leaving the joint un-supported? It would certainly be an interesting subject to model, but I would be most grateful if anyone could throw any light on whether the LNWR freshly mined stone for ...

Hi Rob, Do you need to? You can easily print 16.2mm plain track templates and lay 16.5mm flexi over them. But if you want to create a gauge-changing template in Templot, you need to split each rail into a separate partial template, and then apply equal and opposite slews to each one. It is quite quick to do, but would be a pain to do lots of them on a ...

This plan is a challenge that at the moment will give me something to do as my modelling activities are servilely curtailed owing to a house move and waiting for a modelling room to be built (9 months off ?) I was given a plan with the station approach on, which was a good guide but no template. The first job was to rough out the plan getting the appearance of the prototype in a given space. I am now embarking on the next stage of turning the rough into a working building plan There is a scissors crossing, a 3 way and 3 diamonds to build.

Then open the printer properties in the Windows Control Panel, and delete any documents remaining in the print queue. How many pages were you trying to print? At what print quality (dpi)? If you have a large trackplan it is easy if you are not careful to send dozens of pages to the printer in one go. Which is fine if both the printer and ...
